I've read through this thread and it really seams like a mount problem. Either the lfs partition wasn't mounted properly or something else was mounted over the lfs partition. Creating LFS is a non-trivial project and even a single character omitted or mistyped can blow the whole thing in certain circumstances. I really don't recommend automating unless you've done it manually a few times. Having said that, there are at least three ways to automate: 1. Use jhalfs. That is the most consistent way to do things and it keeps logs of everything you do. 2. Create your own scripts and run them one at a time. When you get to Chapter 6, run the chroot command manually and continue using scripts one at a time. 3. As 2, but run the Chapter 6/7/8 scripts with a chroot command for each package. This is what jhalfs does internally, but can be quite hazardous to your host system if there are any errors at all in the scripts. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
