That would be because 1.97.2 is still very recent. > So, If I am going to build LFS 6.6, with the LFS 6.3 r2160 x86_64 > LiveCD as my host on x86_64 hardware, using the LFS 6.6 book and the > books resources (NOT the LFS 6.3 resources), will I be able to follow > the instructions as is in LFS 6.6 chapter 8.4 Using Grub to set up the > Boot process or will I need to do it different to get my new 64-bit > LFS 6.6 system to boot once it is installed? > > I am reading through the book and getting everything ready and in > place before I start the build. LFS 6.6 should already work fine on 64 bits, including its version of GRUB. See the "Target Architechures" page - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.6/prologue/architecture.html - I believe 64 bit support was in fact one of the primary reasons for replacing the old GRUB with GRUB2. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
