If you are using GRUB, it doesn't matter if the boot flag is set or not,
GRUB doesn't use it at all.
If you are running an older version of windows and using MS's boot
loader, then it would come into play, but otherwise, you can set or not
set it to your hearts content and it won't make a differ
Mike, any partition can have the boot flag ON/OFF.
The boot loader (GRUB) will choose what partition to boot from, and at that
point, the boot flag *MIGHT* become an issue.
With that said, the reason why you build LFS on it's own partition is
because, if you don't, you'll have to move it after
but wait!

I did google it and the advice was to do it but if I were to do it I would
have two partitions with the boot flag.

thanks You inspired me to read the instructions again and it says to
"Install the modules, if the kernel configuration uses them". Well, as I
suspected I don't have any modules so that is why I'm getting the error.

You need modules unless compiling everything static, which usually is
good in theory, but bad in practice unless a very embedded, specific

It's been a while since I did an LFS install, but I assume you have a
partition mounted on `/mnt/lfs`. If that's the case the easiest thing is
to recreate the filesystem. Imagine mount shows something like:
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/lfs type ext4 (rw)
You would un mount the filesystem:

I have no idea why the programs libgmp.la libmpfr.la libmpc.la and glibc

Which package(s) require the files libmpfr.la and libmpc.la? How do you

this have to do with modifying grub???

You need the correct name of the package for the installer to find it.

I wouldn't think you would have any problems with the latest stable, but I

look at BLFS) approach the first time through. While building a
