Ah, thank you all very much for the prompt information. While I do enjoy experimentation, I think I should use the stable version, because this is my maiden voyage with LFS. I will boot from the LiveCD, get X up in 1024, and then just leave the power on until I finish making the LFS system.
I am sure that using the LiveCD will prevent any future possible interferences with the host system, so in the end, the process will go faster. If I am not mistaken, I could go back to the FC4 host when my /tools are all done and working right? I will have a separate dev environ from FC4 up and running in /tools, so if I needed to, I could move back to the host system after /tools are finished, right? > Ken Moffat wrote: >> On Fri, 4 Nov 2005, Andrew Benton wrote: >> >>> Micheal E Cooper wrote: >>> >>>> I have followed the book directions exactly, not customizing anything. >>>> I >>>> am using LFS 6.1, the stable version.
