Hello everyone, this is my very first message on a mailing list so please excuse me if something wrong.
and since it's also my first message on any lfs list - hello everyone! you make a great linux distribution here, i'm impressed and finally i feel with my linux at home! thanks! :)
I searched through archive and couldn't find an answer maybe because it is a very silly issue, but it is keeping me stuck here.
(...)
Now I wonder if I should try to fix it and make user /david/ able to mount from command line or I should take the /sudo /way. If I choose the /sudo /way, will it have some impact further in the book? Having that folder owned by /root/ instead of /david/ could cause some issue further in the book?
i consider myself experienced linux sys admin. however, new to lfs, with only 2 working installations. and what i found out, it's really great idea to go exactly with the book. it's complete. there is no way it will not work. and you know, at least for me, there is not much to customise in lfs, "home" installation process. lfs is only base level system - kernel, c libraries, shell, something way to boot it up etc. there will be some decision making for you, but it's not what most people would describe as a system, at least not ready for use. when you finish with lfs, you will have to move to blfs. and here is where you can start to go wild, experiment! :) be patient :)
for lfs - in my opinion it's much better to experiment with some build automation. if you know nothing about shell scripts - it's great moment to learn some. you will soon discover building lfs is, well, boring. there is a lot of repetition - extract archive, configure, compile, install. it takes a lot of time. and you will make mistakes. or wake up next day and continue, missing some command... and you will want to restart the process from some point. and when it means sitting in front of computer for a day or two issuing some command now and then, the same you issued yesterday, and day before when you accidentaly put this space character after \ at the end of line during libc configuration and realised 3 hours later something is going terribly wrong... yeah... ok... i'll get back to it... next year maybe... ;) so, automate the process.
and then, when you have more or less ready for use system - fun, customisation and experiments never ends! :) so take your time, lfs build process is not what you want to customise, at least no at first.
