I've been thinking about the idea of reviving the live-lfs project. What I had in mind was to create a tmpfs for / in an initrd and copy from the boot device to the tmpfs and run from that. That would overcome your problem because / would be read/write. This is just an idea. I have not tried to implement it at all. The purpose is to have the LFS Book and all sources on the boot device and be able build LFS from there without installing some other host distro. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
