I was looking at the ownership and permissions and it does appear odd. in host it is root:root or root:tty and in chroot it is root:root or root:tape, which is probably due to different group assignments between lfs and ubuntu. I read a thread on linux questions that recommended 'chmod a+rw /dev/pts/0'. Does that sound like a reasonable work around? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
