I'm about to be re-doing LFS (using the GCC4 book, while I built my current system using the 6.1-pre1 book), and I'm wondering: if /boot is on a separate partition, do I need to reinstall Grub as part of LFS, or will my current one still do the job? That is to say: are there any files that Grub installs outside of /boot or the MBR that it needs in order to work properly?
No, the files in /boot should be fine. Just edit menu.lst to add an entry for your new LFS partition and make sure you have the right _stage1_5 file for the filesystem you'll be booting. You would be wise to install grub on your new LFS, just in case it's needed, but there's no need to touch the MBR. I haven't altered the MBR on this computer in a long time. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
