Subject: [blfs-support] Some Helpful Hints ?
Now that I've got my shiny new LFS system up and running, and I've
installed a pile of BLFS software in chroot, but don't have X running,
I'd like some hints on streamlining the process of installing software
via Lynx.
Unfortunately, my hard drive that contained a lot of helpful hints from
when I last played with LFS 2 1/2 years ago went belly up a couple of
years ago, and I've forgotten many of the hints that were on that drive.
Here's what I remember:
In the Linux console I believe there is a way to switch between two or
more independent windows, so that you can have a program running in
each. This facilitates, say, looking at the BLFS book in Lynx in one
window, and installing the software in another. How do you switch windows?
I know that on startup Linux records some log files, including what is
output to the console. Where can I find them?
A couple of days ago Bruce Dubbs gave me a link to some hints on
transitioning from LFS to BLSF. Good stuff!
Any other helpful hints?
Thanks in advance!
Alan

Hello,
To switch to a different tty without X installed, use the alt+F1 (or F2 etc)
keys to switch to a different tty.
You will need to use the ctrl+alt+fnx keys when you have X installed.
Regards,
Christopher.
Thank you!
