Hi Alexander,

Noted with tks. Here I think I have to adjust "/mnt/lfs" to
"/mnt/livecd". Because /mnt/lfs is the running BLFS 6.1.
"/mnt/livecd" is for building LiveCD. Same as to following commands
concerned.
> cp -av /bin /boot /etc /home /lib /opt /root /sbin /srv /usr /var \

> mkdir -m1777 /mnt/lfs/tmp
> mkdir /mnt/lfs/{dev,proc,sys,media,mnt}
> mknod -m600 /mnt/lfs/dev/console c 5 1
> mknod -m666 /mnt/lfs/dev/null c 1 3

Noted with tks. I'll use "cp" command to duplicate /dev/hda6 on
/dev/hda7

Oh, sorry. I thought leaving creating ISO image and its burning on CD
to final stage. I'll answer them at end of this email.

Please advise "Lesson 20" of which document you referred to. Tks.

Noted with thanks. One additional question; can I test-run the LiveCD
after its building finished but before creating its ISO image?

Here I have some confusion. It is necessary to recompile the kernel of
the LiveCD to enable IDE CD-ROMs support and ISO-9660 filesystem as
non-modules, etc. Whether after compilation while still on
/mnt/livecd/usr/src/linux-2.6.11.12/ Run;
# cp /arch/i386/boot/bzImage /mnt/livecd/boot/lfskernel && cp
System.map /mnt/livecd/boot/
If I'm wrong please correct me. Tks.
Besides shall I leave the recompilation of kernel to last step of
building LiveCD?

Noted. I'll post the error message at this stage. Tks
