Hi Alexander, Tks for your advice and URLs.
I went through "Easy Boot CD of your LFS" http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/boot-cd_easy.txt a couple times before replying your email. I shall follow its instruction to build a LiveCD > I think it would be more > productive to create and test a simple uncompressed LFS-only LiveCD > first I thought about your suggestion several times. I already have a working BLFS 6.1, light-weight but full function. I built it with the packages installed from source. It would be difficult for me going back to LFS. If they are rpm packages it will be easy for me to uninstall them. My second thought was to remove them manually but it may render into dependencies problem. So finally I'm prepared to have a shot to see what will happen. I have following questions. Could you please shed me some lights? 1) Is the BLFS 6.1 to build a LiveCD on it necessary running during building? OR booting another Linux to start building, i.e BLFS 6.1 not working. 2) To avoid any possible damage to the existing BLFS 6.1 I'm prepared to make a partition from /home of FC3, the host, of this box and duplicate BLFS 6.1 on this new partition, namely "livecd" (/dev/hda7) with following commands; First booting to BLFS 6.1 mkdir /mnt/livecd mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/livecd cp -a --sparse=auto -x /bin /boot /etc /lib /opt /root /sbin /tmp /usr /var (etc.) /mnt/livecd to duplicate all directories of BLFS 6.1 residing on /dev/hda6 to "livecd" (/dev/hda7). Then; mkdir /mnt/livecd/{dev,proc,sys} to start building. If I'm wrong please correct me. TIA Another thing I could not resolve is this is a dual-boot box applying the grub of FC3, the host, as bootloader. If duplicating BLFS 6.1 on "livecd" (/dev/hda7) shall I also configure the bootloader of FC3 (/boot/grub/grub.conf)? Please advise. B.R.
