As has been mentioned by others, you do not have to remove the primary disk to make your lfs build bootable. to make the secondary disk bootable as a primary disk, when installing grub, change the install path for the mbr to be the mbr for the secondary drive. [ hdb or sdb ] NOTE: you must make grup point to hda or sda for when you remove the primary drive and change disc position on the cable, or it will not be bootable. it would be a good idea to also make a boot floppy if you have a floppy drive, just in case of errors in the grub configuration and installation to the hard drive.

If he can't do that simple task, he doesn't need to be around technology." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
