ext2 will always work with this old kit. Afterwards it's trivial to upgrade to
ext3, once everything is built, tested, backed-up, and stable. "One step at a
time!"

It takes a great deal to anger me. My emotions are very well controlled.
However, I've critiqued your apparent lack of certainty and clarity at least a
couple times, maybe more, but it never seems to change. Who's going to suffer
from it? Not me, but you will--my half-century of working with computers make
me quite certain of that.

"Somewhere"? "not sure what version"? QED.
If you're going to build LFS successfully you're going to haveto change how you
work.

You need an "image" file and you don't burn it as a file, as you do most
things. There's a different process, much like "dd".

If you can boot it and get a shell...

Maybe. You used "mke2fs -c ..."? A "normal" mke2fs doesn't do a surface scan,
and since that drive may be bad, you need every sector checked.

Hi All;
Paul and everyone;
"Somewhere"? "not sure what version"? QED.If you're going to build LFS
successfully you're going to haveto change how you work.
I was just mentioning that I remembered I had a copy of Knoppix on a CD..
I knew I would have to find it and see what version I had,
You may be blessed with a memory that would remember these things,
but, I feel good if I can remember just that I have it, I can then go and find
it,
which I did..> I have downloaded Knoppix 5.1.1, but I couldn't get it to boot,
it says > no boot record..You need an "image" file and you don't burn it as a
file, as you do most things. There's a different process, much like "dd".
I did just like I had done before with the many of CD/DVD's,
that I have done to burn an Image..
I had downloaded the .ISO image and burned it to disk, only it didn't work
with the Knoppix 5.1.1 that I had, maybe even though it had the correct type
it wasn't or didn't have the boot information.. Maybe it wasn't a bootable ISO
Image file..
If you're going to build LFS successfully you're going to have to change how
you work.It's not that I can't follow Instructions, I just don't always
remember exact details when I am answering emails like to You.. But, when I am
building I have the Terminal emulation on one side (left) and the PDF file of
the Linux From Scratch on the right hand side, and I do a copy and Paste sort
of thing.. Anyway, I will shut down this Dell machine unplug the Windows Drive
and plug in the Linux Mint 17.3 Drive and do as You told me Yesterday to do on
that other drive with a mke2fs-c..And when that finishes, I will get back on
here and let You know what it shows.. THANK YOU Marty
