actually if you are in chroot environment, unless you populate /dev and mount /proc systems you wont get access to these as those are the jobs the kernel does and i think thats why we Mount Virtual Kernel File Systems at the beginning of the 6th Chapter. Am sorry if am wrong :-) jsut try "fdisk -l" without mounting kernel virtual file-systems and populating /dev, there wouldnt be any output displayed. :-) with regards, C.C.Chakkaradeep -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
