Any user will do, but generally not lfs if you follow the book explicitly. Section 4.3: groupadd lfs useradd -s /bin/bash -g lfs -m -k /dev/null lfs ... su - lfs I can't extract for the first package ----------- lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources$ tar xvjf binutils-2.24.tar.bz2 I don't like bsd style options. They can give what you don't expect. The above is ok, but the v and j are not needed. Use tar -xf binutils-2.24.tar.bz2 tar (child): binutils-2.24.tar.bz2: Cannot open: Permission denied You should be able to figure out permission problems yourself to build LFS. maybe because as root I copied cp -r /home/student/lfs/packages/* /mnt/lfs/sources cp -r /home/student/lfs/patchs/* /mnt/lfs/sources I did not use "wget command" Section 3.1: mkdir -v $LFS/sources chmod -v a+wt $LFS/sources Later as user lfs in Chapter 5: cd $LFS/sources tar -xf binutils-2.24.tar.bz2 But you don't, strictly speaking, need to be in $LFS/sources. For Chapter 5, from any writable directory by user lfs: tar -xf $LFS/sources/binutils-2.24.tar.bz2 and proceed from there. But you can't do that in Chapter 6, so the most consistent place for everything is $LFS/sources (which will be /sources in Chapter 6). -- Bruce -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support (http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support) FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html) Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
