Sorry, I got this mail just after I sent my first response. Of course, you will lose the mount points for your partitions (e.g. /mnt/lfs) when rebooting because they only exist in the file system that the livecd created in your RAM. When you re-create the mount points after rebooting, you should be able to mount the partitions again, thus having access to all the data on your hdd. What other data you lose heavily depends on in what stage of the build you were in when you shut down the computer. In general, you will lose all the data that has not been stored on the hdd when you shut down. As Mike already said, it is much better not to shut down the computer during the installation at all - especially if it is your first installation, because you will want to minimize the amount of error sources. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
