Maybe .. The kernel download was skipped when no config file is defined, as a request by some people, due the fast moving kernel versions upgrades. Not downloading the kernel allow the user to keep downloaded a kernel with major version and download only the minor version patch when required. I will see if an extra configuration option can be added to download it under request when no configuration file is supplied. -- Manuel Canales Esparcia Usuario de LFS nº2886: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org LFS en castellano: http://www.escomposlinux.org/lfs-es http://www.lfs-es.com TLDP-ES: http://es.tldp.org -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
