I installed many BLFS packages in chroot, but when I tried downloading them with wget, it failed with this message: "unable to resolve host address ‘www.x.org’", so I had to download them in the host system. I assume this is because I was connected to the internet in the host system but not in chroot (in particular, my /etc/resolv.conf is generated by dhcpcd, which was not running in chroot). Is it possible to connect to the internet in chroot while being connected in the host system? (I suppose I could just try that sometime, but maybe someone here happens to know the answer.)
