Not unnecessarily, it may be that the kernel on the live cd has not been compiled with support for your particular chipset.
Now I'm looking for an alternate method to start the installation. The 12 Gig HDD in my Laptop is for all practical purposes blank. Any suggestions?
Install a linux distro on a small partition and use it as a host system to build LFS. Probably the first thing you should do is recompile the kernel the get a good kernel .config that works with your hardware. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
