But I am going to limit the number of exceptions I am making by resizing my internal hard drive to give myself a better chance at making it through this build. If I cannot build my own system, Linux is no use to me, might as well go back to Windoze.. After I get that working, maybe I will try building my external drive with the LFS system as the host. I am going to save this email for future reference.
