As root cd /mnt tar caf lfs.tar.bz2 lfs umount /mnt/lfs cfdisk /dev/sdb # Format the drive with your chosen filesystem # For me that would be mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb1 mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/lfs tar xf lfs.tar.bz2 You'll need to fix grub as it's files will have moved Andy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
