lfs boots and is up and running ... devuan doesn't show on the startup menu, just lfs ... i'll have to see what's up with that. the original grub.cfg had an entry for insmod gzio so i added one too. i'll muck around and see what's up ... the main thing is that i now have an lfs system up and running! phenomenal amount of work by you all over the years to enable me to just follow the recipes in the book and come up with a working linus system on my own. thank you very much. i appreciate your efforts ... and my new system. i'll let you know what the problem was when i've fixed it. thanks again. > -- > 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. > > A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. > Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? > A: Top-posting. > Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail? > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style > > -- 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.
