I've only used qemu as in the book, but you can certainly build LFS there. > --is it possible to install the guest blfsOS first then install the hostOS > then somehow containorise the guest to run as a user process???? You could probably boot to a live iso and copy files from a LFS/BLFS partition to the virtual disk. Note that the kernel drivers will be different, so you would need to rebuild the kernel. Other files such as ifconfig.eth0, hostname, etc would be different, but could be changed after boot. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
