So again, praytell, what /is/ Linux.
LFS is whatever YOU make it. The Linux Kernel is just part of LFS. Don't get mad at me, I wan't trying to get at you :-) You just seemed to be saying that these things happened "'cos they did" - when actually, when you understand them, they happen because they have been programmed (by you) that way. There is no magick, just programming. 'If and when present' only means something when there is some program, that you are running, that has been programmed to find said file and do something with it. BTW, I'm not reading your references, so you can save your time by not searching them out. I understand the LFS bootscripts because I took the time to read them, run them, and understand them, not because someone told me how they worked. Red Hat's documents are not relevant to LFS bootscripts. And like you, I've been doing this stuff for years, since the late 1960's in my case. I think of UNIX System III as modern, and BSD as some cranky American spin off for University geeks. I'm not called Old for nothing ;-) R. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
