I am using SuSE 9.2 professional as my host distro. I have successfully set up a partition, set up a user, downloaded all the files, but have hit a problem in Setting up the environment (Chapter 4, page 31, LFS 6.0). I followed the instructions on the page, but realised something was wrong when I su to lfs and PS1 remains the default SuSE prompt, rather than the one I had set up. If I run env, I get a whole lot of environment settings that have come from the SuSE defaults somewhere.
do a cat /home/lfs/.bash_profile, cat /home/lfs/.bashrc to check if both files are where they belong and make sure both files look exactly like in the lfs book. In .bash.profile the >>> -i <<< in the env command is important. That one may be missing.
have fun, Thorsten -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
