No, you can use ext4, reiserfs, jfs, or xfs. Perhaps others. The drivers just need to be built into the kernel. The book just gives an example known to not give problems. We've recently added some text about other file systems in the svn version of LFS. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
