I will be surprised if there is a clean way to do this in chroot. The whole purpose of chroot in LFS is to isolate you from the host. Google has nothing that looks relevant to a _build_ in chroot. I tried cat'ing a file to the play (?) devices in /dev/snd while not in chroot, but I just get cat: write error: File descriptor in bad state Have you thought about using a script above the individual package scripts, to run all of them, or at least a batch of them [ if each ends successfully ] ? And at the end put out a message "Completed" or "Failed". That way you can run several scripts, and merely keep an eye on the term where LFS is building, and overall CPU activity. ĸen -- Il Porcupino Nil Sodomy Est!
