You will need sudo (or su, or log in as the root user on systems that allow it) to create the lfs user (Chapter 4.3) and set up the lfs partition (fdisk, mke2fs, chown, mount)( Chapter 2). You can also use sudo to enter the chroot environment (Chapter 6.4). There are a couple of other setup places where sudo is useful. Sudo is never needed to build or install a package. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
