In 6.61, the good book says, "However, it is easy to make a typo and render the new system unusable, so before running the strip command, it is a good idea to make a backup of the current situation."
So what is the best way to make this backup? (1) As root user of the host system, do 'tar -cjf 051123_lfs_bkp.tar.bz2 $LFS'. (2) As root of the chroot'd system, do 'tar -cjf 051123_lfs_bkp.tar.bz2 /'. (3) other utilities or methods, or some tar options that I don't know??? Forgive my ignorance, but this issue of backups is one of the things I want most to master in Linux (or any other system I use, for that matter). -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
