The new lfs partition that I make won't have any software on it except for the unpacked toolkit. Chapter 6 creates that software. How could I not go through that chapter? The basic architecture is the same: x64_86. But the toolkit was built on an Intel processor and it will be running on a Via. I hope that won't cause any problems. -- H Russman -- 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.
