TANSTAAFL :-) Sorry, no more room on disk! I made 4 primary partitions (should have made an extended one, shouldn't I!). I could rearrange everything using fsarchiver or something but frankly, I don't fancy all the hard work. Maybe one day... The point is that this is not the first LFS I've made on this Samsung. My chroot host is LFS7.8, which I built completely from scratch, including the chapter 5 toolkit. The build host for that was NuTyX (thank you, Thierry!). Some of the builds took a long time but it all went smoothly with no segfaults or other untoward events. It's interesting to see the differences when doing it this way. -- 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.
