My apologizes for answering your email last :) I answered the based on speed to answer.

Since I have already done that twice, it was an attempt a avoidance plain and simple. I started with CLFS-BOOK-20060506. At one of the build failures I started over with SVN-20060614. > > And you didn't answer the alternative, although you appear to > disagree with my assertion (hint - keep a note of what you copy, so > that you can delete it after the test). The answer was the "ls /tools" that was part of my reply.

Slackware is all I have installed. Lots cds for other distros I can't boot amd64 (just amd32) That is why I am "CLFS"ing. > Maybe, there _is_ a problem in the book, and if so I'm keen to see > it fixed.

After failing to build 3 times in a row nerves start to set in :) sorting out x86-64 and pure64-pure64 (which is used for what?). I take it to mean use a x86 system to build a amd64 system. Then use the amd64 system to get both cpus operational. > > From here, you seem to have slipped into building multilib, which > normally is avoided by using the full set of patches and seds in the > chapter. > > Ken My humble thanks to all who offered me fixit suggestions. I am going to start by clearing the partition, then downloading packages and patches. I am going to use the script command so that everything is logged. reiserfsprogs 3.6.19 - ok to use? In the email archive I saw a comment that reiserfs 4 not ok. anyone? Again my thanks to all (in whatever order:)) who listened and pointed me in the right direction.
