But I never even started X :( I just finished booting a GNU/HURD live CD (http://www.superunprivileged.org/). I saw similar I/O errors on my first try. When I tried again, no errors. I was at the hurdle login screen without any problems.
I think it might be what Andrew says or simply, my drive lens or some component is not cooperating. I checked the specs on the cdrom. For my Thinkpad 390X, 'crn-8241b-(sm)' is the model/unit number or whatever for the CDROM hardware. I wanted to build an LFS without installing another distro, but it looks like I don't have a choice :( --- Ag Hatzim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Srinath M([EMAIL PROTECTED])@Sat, Aug 06, 2005 at 11:33:35AM > -0700: > > Hi all, > > > > Everything was going fine till I reached the stage where you > install > > the first package (binutils) from source.
