:::: From: Steven Vancoillie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Why can't you continue to use your host system?
I will be using my host system, I want to run Chap 6 now. But if I get the drift of your question, the host system runs with a real /dev on the root filesystem. It's a LFS-4.1 system running with a "test" 2.6.11.12 kernel compiled without modules. That has gotten me through Chap 5, and once before through Chap 6--though I'm not sure I did that right, and may not have because that system munged its partition table before it was complete enough to take a worthwhile backup. This time I'm asking how to do it right. >Just write some scripts that take care of 6.2/6.8. I was asking what kind of scripts would be necessary. If I was sure I would write these scripts properly, I wouldn't have asked. :::: From: Cruise X Overide <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >what machine are u on? my AMD 4400+ X2 with 1GB of memory running fedora >5 and then VMware with the LFS boot cd, 1 SBU is < 1min. Unless you're offering to give me your computer, I don't see how that is relevant to answering my question. I need to compile Chap 6 on this computer. >by the way, u only need to 2 nodes to boot the system (presuming, u have >udev setup) No, this system doesn't run udev until AFTER I get Chap 6 installed and bootable. Bad presumption, not all systems run udev! >/dev/console >and /dev/null That's not the point. Chapter 6 sets up some virtual file systems once, presuming one is going to complete the installation in one sitting. I need to do it in multiple sessions, and I don't object to, and can see some advantage to, having them setup on the real /dev. I need some advice on adapting the book's instructions. (Yes, I know, FBBG. It just won't work for me!) Dan? Got any suggestions for me? Paul Rogers ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.xprt.net/~pgrogers/ Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
