I'm cross-compiling Linux for a 386. If you just scoffed at reading
that, then let me tell you that (1) of all the purported i386
distros not a single one runs on a real 386 (caveats galore - see Q4),
and (2) the questions have more to do with glibc, NPTL, and
LinuxThreads than Linux and
- Seems like the ultimate build platform for newbs.
That's exactly what I am against. LiveCD users create 90% of support requests.
Noobs (not to be confused with newbs) should be filtered out, e.g., by telling
them to install and configure a real distro.
Agreed.
Besides, the LFS LiveCD

When was the last time you used the CD? mdadm has been available on it
for a long time. Or were you saying that there are other tools it is
missing?
Two years ago
I think there is an unwarranted aversion to support requests in this
community. If LFS is truly about education, it should welcome helping
users through the experience, instead of pushing them away. If anything,
this is more argument to have the FAQ kept up to date so that it is easy

But main stream distros these days have a lot more tools available to them
than the LiveCD can even dream of (simple technological fact due to the
storage capacity of the medium; CD/DVD versus HD) and typically include a
very simple means of installing what tools you don't have.

So there you have it, it is listed 5 times that one should not include all

currently I am setting up my first LFS build, which I do primarily to learn

It's a good way to open the case, but the computer is at work and can not be
opened. Do you know any software tool to do this?
Sure, the command 'lspci' can usually figure it out for you.
For example, on my Tyan S2390B, I get the following:

How can I determine what chipset is on my computer?
If you know what model motherboard you have, look it up at the
manufactorers website. If not, pop open the case and take a look. The
northbridge chipset in modern machines is usually covered by a heatsink
which you may have to remove, be sure

Of course, it didn't exactly act that way with aliases, but thats special
