Taking that statement at face value: if there's nothing under '/' then you have no (normal) host-os; and so the machine would likely not be working at all. Given the fact that you used chroot a few posts back, and how you were using it, I'm wondering if you perhaps have used it again and are listing the contents of the chroot dir (e.g. $LFS == /mnt/lfs), and are not seeing anything under the chroot directory. If that chroot directory is $LFS == /mnt/lfs and you really do have nothing under there, then that has changed since yesterday, and begs the question: have you been deleting or moving stuff. But in any event, it is not established clearly that you have a ch.5-toolchain backup. Therefore it is not established that you can resume from end of chapter 5. Therefore your best bet is to start the book afresh. Good luck with that. Bear in mind the knowledge that you have added from the recent part-build. Also, if you are showing signs of systematically not following the book, then folks are, reasonably, very likely to just keep pointing you back at the book: 'Book Good, Follow Book'. atb, akh -- -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
