Hi I've just started installing LFS on a VMware Server virtual machine using the LFS Live-CD as boot medium. These is a rough script of the initial steps:
- parition the (virtual) harddisk to sda1 (swap) and sda2 (/) - mkswap /dev/sda1 - mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda2 - export LFS=/mnt/lfs - mkdir -pv $LFS - mount -v -t ext2 /dev/sda2 $LFS - /sbin/swapon -v /dev/sda1 Now my question is, since I have the Live-CD is "mkdir -v $LFS/sources" necessary? I would have thought something like "cp -a / $LFS" is sufficient. OK, /mnt/lfs itself could go in circles. In addition, I don't want all the stuff what a Live-CD needs, just the bare minimum. Can somebody show me the way out? Or does Live-CD contain the essential files in one place? regards Steve -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?
