Hi William,
Thanks for that interesting reply and suggestion. I am not quite up to
the level of script replay as it is rather beyond my capabilities at
this point. I did read up on script replay at the link below.

Hi William,
Something I was curious about was something even simpler
and users don't even need web access or a gui with their host OS.
The idea is to use script or script replay! (continued)

After creating your partitions, did your system update the block
devices available? Sorry, I don't know what that means.
The host portition in this case is my previous build of LFS. The computers has
been restarted many time since I set up the partitions.

Agree.
GCC works better with more
registers, which is one of the main reasons for using x86_64 - the
drawback is that pointers are 64-bit so take more space
