Replying to [comment:9 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > Problem is you don't have networking available in chroot while you > are installing VIM (I think, but not positive), so ftp may be hard. > > Let's discuss. Networking is available as long as your host has a properly configured connection. The only thing you have to do over and above what is currently in the book is copy your host's /etc/resolv.conf file to chroot. Even so, you still wouldn't be able to download anything with ftp until the ftp client is installed in section 6.40 (Inetutils). If you really wanted to go this route, you could install wget in chapter 5 as a part of the tools, or, I'm sure there's some way to write a bash download script that sends out HTTP requests. I personally don't mind wget in chapter 5, but really, anything on this level may be a lot more work than it's worth. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2205#comment:10> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
