I have already been building a lot of it with simple bash scripts. I basically copy all the commands for a package into a pair of script and run them. One for the regular user and one for root. That is what I did with LFS chapter 2 - 9. Right now I am trying to figure out why some of the packages in chapter 23 in BLFS won't build. If I can't figure it out I will post a new thread with details. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
