I have looked at this "new version" way of building LFS and I believe it will create many issues for me as someone that uses a package manager. I also so see no real advantage over the old way. I also use the overlay file system for the kernel so when building chapter 6 (old way) only /tools is present in the "host" file system along with all the scripts etc that I use to build LFS. The "host" that I used to build the tool chain is completely removed. I don't like mixing the tool chain into the root file system ( yes I know in the old way some links are needed). I will continue with using the old way, and I think it is time for me to split from the LFS project and go my own way. -- 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.
