[lfs-support] /usr/lib/libstdc++.la getting trashed

For some months now, I've had failures in BLFS when /usr/libstdc++.la was found to be empty ('not a valid libtool archive') : I know Armin removes these .la files, but I've found that some things don't rebuild on updates if I do that - on x86_64 and previously on ppc/{,64}. Last week, I had anoth

[lfs-support] booting LFS

I finished LFS but it will not boot. When powering on the computer I get a boot screen showing one option, "GNU/Linux, Linux 3.2.6-lfs-7.1". When selected with ENTER I get "Press any key to continue", then it goes back to the same boot screen with the same option. Any ideas.

I promise you all I am responding because I really believe what I am about to say is very relevant to LFS and what LFS intends to do which is teach Linux. Before I make one more attempt to clarify I wanted to make a few statements to make sure my reply won't be misunderstood. I promise this will

Ok, so I managed to do up to the chapter 6 and now reading through the chapter 7. In section 7.2 it says that I can ignore this section if I only has one network interface, so basically the entire section 7.2 I can ignore (7.2.1, 7.2.2, 7.2.3). And my question is doesn't this section 7.2 relates to
