It's true that I had test failures under my host kernel, and they went away when I booted from a 2.6.16.27 kernel. I'm not sufficiently familiar with the whole LFS thing to say whether they're significant enough to worry about; I thought it better to be safe than sorry. I usually keep a couple of alternative kernels around, so it's no great hardship for me. In the event, I still had problems with gcc (which turned out to be my own fault; I was applying the patch when I shouldn't), so ended up downloading and burning the live CD and using that as the host system - which went smoothly, as you'd expect. That's only a viable option for those with fast net connections and CD burners, of course ;) jim -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
