<<<<<<< On my host system? Oh no. The kernel that comes with RH9. 2.4.20-6. A redhat version of a 2.4 kernel. I would just install the latest gentoo but it's about as difficult if not more so than lfs. I have the minimal ISO and have to go online and download a couple of files and use nano. RH9 comes with pico the older version of nano. If I could just get a gentoo up and running with a C development environment I might be able to go ahead and build the lfs. But gentoo is another "lfs like" system. A learning experience for sure though. >>>>>>>
Bill, My suggestion to use the gentoo livedvd does not mean installing gentoo on your system, instead, the dvd contain the needed development tools to be used as is. The minimal iso you were using does not come with the development environment which is why I have suggested you download the dvd; it is a complete system which start in X so you can fire up a web browser at the LFS pages and start working. This is what I am using at the moment. Alain -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
