What is the difference using another user and substituting that username elsewhere in the book? Is the LFS user hardcoded in the kernel with special privileges? All I want is to build a minimal Linux system for embedded development. Why is LFS so complicated? Is there another alternative? I don't see why the authors of LFS don’t create a liveCD with the independent tool chain ready to go and delete Ch 5. Why put a newbie like me thru all this? It makes no sense and to be honest it distract from learning Linux because it is too much to bite off. CH 5 could be converted into an advanced project. also, because the user is left to pick from the myriad choices of hosts to build on, this creates a lot of variables and problems and stuck points for peeps. I say to the authors .. ... make a LiveCD iso file and eliminate a lot of confusion and trouble tickets on this list. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
