Something around 70 characters usually works well (that is, it still fits in "old" 80 character lines when quoted in several levels of reply with '> > > > ' on the front of each line. It also makes it much easier for people who reply to only quote the part of a paragraph which is relevant. Thanks. > I've configured and run several VPSs and machines in my own labs .

On the host 'ls -l /' should show /tools pointing to /mnt/lfs/tools. Another search result (stackoverflow - probably not the best place to ask about LFS, because most of the people who might reply don't understand how we bring up a new system) the poster eventually claimed he'd fixed it and the problem was because he had not used 'sudo make install' : that was clearly the wrong answer, but /mnt/lfs /mnt/lfs/sources if that is where you build (it's what the books use - I'm eccentric and make that an nfs mount, so I don't build there) and /mnt/lfs/tools need to be writable by the lfs user. If either of those match your situation, best to start again and fix the problem. If they don't, perhaps google knows of other problems (I don't recall seeing this particular problem on our lists in the last few months, but at the moment what happened a month ago seems a very long time ago - too many simultaneous and unrelated problems :). ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early.
