Hi,
Did you follow the LFS6.6 book instructions exactly? I am thinking of building
a 64 bit version of LFS6.6 using the LFS LiveCD X86_64-6.3-r2160 as a host.
What I am asking is, are there 64 bit versions of the LFS6.6 packages that need
to be used or will using a 64 bit OS on a 64 bit machine automatically build a
64 bit LFS6.6 using all the LFS6.6 source packages as is?
Thanks,
Gary
