if somemon decides to have /usr in another partition - which is not the proposed setup in the book - it's his/her responsability to have all dependencies solved for booting. the same applies if someone decides to use another shell than proposed in the book. (as far as i remember, according to the linux standard base, all libraries required for bootup have to be in /lib not /usr/lib.) the book clearly states to apply each step litteraly, thus having another shell than bash or using additional partitions simply is not covered by the book. whenever someone has problems because of not following the book, one of the first answers in the list always requires to follow litteraly. my proposal: either add some paragraphs or add new chapters with a title like "multiple partitions" and "not bash as root shell" describing the problems that might arise with such doing and giving some hints (just hints!) how to solve these problems. why? starting to add special treatment for gdbm/zsh will give a reason for any other request not following the current given prerequisites (chapter iii), host requirements (iv) and setup (2.1..2.4). next wish could be mawk instead of gawk (ubuntu is happy with, why do we have to insist for gawk)... or eglib (debian)... or uClib... or .... each of this additions allone is probably feasible and can be documented in the book. but the possible combinations would add a complexity nobody can handle any more... just my 2 cents... tobias -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
