>If you are doing this for your education, great. However a new user >should be building the book manually so they understand what's going on. So, the point is I am a new user and I've typed in the commands a number of times and still haven't successfully built a system. And it's starting to get boring. This has been going on, on and off now for a few weeks. What I was hoping was that you could run the script (basically just the commands from the book) and see if it works for you. I'm trying to figure out if the problem is the book or just that the books didn't foresee some peculiarity about my host system. If the script works for you and others then it must be some problem with my host system and not the sequence of commands in the book. I hope that made the intention of posting the script clear. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
