Actually, using the automated tools (jhalfs) for your first LFS is not the way to go. You should build LFS/BLFS by hand at least a couple of times before using the automated tools. After building by hand for the first couple of times you would know how to progress and what the general idea behind the automated tool is. However, the blfs-tools is very alpha. I'm not sure if it really works properly or not. I've never used it for BLFS. Additionally, you can build BLFS packages after building LFS and before rebooting, it is your choice. I encourage you as a first-time builder to reboot before progressing with BLFS as that way you will be using the actual kernel you built in LFS, and not the host's. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.23] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 20:04:00 up 11 days, 10:35, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
