I didn't checked it out, so correct me if i'm wrong... The root.ext2 file is a filesystem in a file, to create such system you could use dd dd if=/dev/zero of=filesystem bs=1024 count=1048576 Above command would create a file that is 1 GB in size, this is the size of your partition. then you need to create a filesystem on it, with the mke2fs (or mkfs.ext2) command. (Or for ext3, mke3fs/mkfs.ext3) mke2fs filesystem The command will note you that filesystem isn't a block device, and this is correct. so continue with yes. then you can follow the LFS book, but only when mounting the partition you need to change the command. the book says: mount -v -t ext3 /dev/<xxx> $LFS you should do: mount -v -t ext2 /full/path/to/filesystem $LFS -o loop or for ext3: mount -v -t ext3 /full/path/to/filesystem $LFS -o loop But this only creates the filesystem(where you build LFS on), if you want to know how to boot from CD etc, you should look at the LFS Live CD remastering page. http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/livecd/browser/tags/6.2-5/doc/lfscd-remastering-howto.txt Tijnema -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
