With hindsight, I would've started out by asking you where eaxctly is the done-at-end-ch.5-backup : but instead I took it as read that that info/knowledge was established and would be readily-accessible; and so started out by asking you to take a backup of the then-_current_ state of /mnt/lfs, so that you didn't clobber e.g. the 'sources' dir and have no backed-up copy of it. It's a fairly standard idiom: make a backup-snapshot of a dirtree before you do major work on the original. But, enough already of that. Good luck with the fresh build. akh -- -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
