Hi, Started reading and doing what the book says (6.6). Didn't take too long before I got myself into trouble. :-(
In " Host system Requirements", the instructions explicitly wants '/bin/sh' to be pointing to bash. Mine was pointing to dash. So I endeavoured to change it by deleting the symlink and then create another symlink to point to bash. However, being a naive newbie all hell broke loose when I deleted the symlink, and everything was misbehaving. So, before I realized what I had done I logged out rebooted and then couldn't log back in anymore. Sooo...before I do something else that I'm not suppose to do, I thought I'd get advise first. My thinking is that I need to get a Linux rescue or recovery CD, mount the file system on the hard drive, and then add a symlink to bash. Make sense or is there an easier way? Any recommendations on a rescue disk? One more thing. Seeing that this is a very risky thing to be advising in LFS 6.6, can I suggest that the authour(s) add some caveats around this instruction? thanx /carl h. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
