After a few years of trying to find *the* perfect distro for me, I've decided that the only way I'm going to get it is to build it myself. Hence I'm trying LFS, but have run into a problem.
I am using the LFS Live CD, version 6.3-r2145 and, because this is my first attempt at building my own system, I'm sandboxing it by installing to a Virtualbox VM. Working from the LFS book version 6.5 (actually, re-reading this email before posting, could that be the problem? A slight disparity between the v6.3 disc and v6.5 instructions?). My problem is that the first command under chapter 5.4, binutils - mkdir -v ../binutils-build - fails with a 'permission denied'. First question, am I working in the right place? lfs:~$ pwd /home/lfs If not, where should I be? What else do you want to know to point me in the right direction? And yes, I know I'm probably doing something really simple and stupid, but for the life of me, I can not work out what. Many thanks, in advance, David Shaw -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
