Hi, first, let me report success on a manual build of LFS 6.2-pre1. Congratulations on producing yet another great book!
Things I encountered that have not been mentioned yet: 7.2.2. Contents of LFS-Bootscripts: cleanfs: ============================================ I think that a distribution like LFS should not clean /tmp by default. It seems too invasive for a distro that should just provide a minimal system. `man hier` says that files in /tmp _may_ be deleted without notice. It does not say that they _should_ be deleted upon reboot. Anyway, the description of cleanfs should mention this fact. cleanfs ======== | Removes files that *should not* be preserved between reboots, such | as those in /var/run/ and /var/lock/; it re-creates /var/run/utmp | and removes the possibly present /etc/nologin, /fastboot, and /forcefsck | files. | Also removes files that *may* be removed between reboots, in particular | all files in /tmp. Since many distributions (including LFS-4.0) do not exhibit this behaviour, the second paragraph could be presented in the style of a warning.
