I should have it done today, I designed it with a configure script so you can set up things like networking, host/domain names, kernel, clock, timezone, user, etc... But the thing I have been most frustrated over is a settting I call "fancy". Instead of getting a screen full of compiler messeges, these are sent to some log files, and the output looks like this: Creating a custom profile for lfsuser ...DONE Copying source files to install LFS ...DONE Extracting tools_binutils_pass1 ...DONE Estimated time to complete Binutils, ...UNKNOWN Actual time is 3 minutes and 28 seconds SBU = 1.00 Extracting tools_gcc_pass1 ...DONE Estimated time to complete tools_gcc_pass1 is 15 minutes and 26 seconds Actual time is 15 minutes and 15 seconds SBU = 4.40 Extracting tools_linux_libc_headers ...DONE Estimated time to complete tools_linux_libc_headers is 0 minutes and 2 seconds Actual time is 0 minutes and 0 seconds SBU = 0.00 Extracting tools_linux_headers ...DONE Estimated time to complete tools_linux_headers is 0 minutes and 17 seconds Actual time is 0 minutes and 18 seconds SBU = 0.09 Extracting tools_glibc ...DONE Estimated time to complete tools_glibc is 38 minutes and 08 seconds Actual time is 39 minutes and 46 seconds SBU = 11.47 .................

It's still rough, and it is not well documented, but it installs LFS correctly. However, I would be happy to let others look at it and suggest improvements/bugfixes. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
