Just booted into my shiny new LFS system on which I used LiveCD-pre3 as
the host. I had used 6.1.1-02(or 3 I don't remember) for my laptop last
month. I decided to go completely SVN this time because of the
gcc-4.0.2 stuff.
Thanks again for the LiveCD. I had no problems with building either the
cd or LFS--which I did manually--except for the ones I generated
myself. I have two minor comments about the pre3 cd.
Neither the 'groff_1.18.1-10.diff.gz' nor 'kbd-1.12-backspace-1.patch'
files were in the lfs-sources directory. I checked my sandbox and they
weren't there either. The link to the groff patch in Chapter 3.3 did
not exist, as described in the warning, and I had to go to one of the
mirrors to download it. Admittedly, these are not even minor annoyances
for me, but I thought I'd mention it if there are any "It needs to be
complete" folks working on the project.
Once again, thanks for this product.
This is OT for this post, but I thought I'd add it. I waded through a
lot of stuff in the blfs-devel archives about building Xorg-7.0 and the
direction of BLFS. As stated by a couple of people, the {,B}LFS
experience is designed to be a learning one. Let me add LiveCD to the
list of learning experiences. It's not just, although it can be, a way
of taking a nap while one builds LFS.
I've wanted to "beef up" my scripting skills for awhile AND Makefiles
were important to me only to make the "more_control_package_user" system
work. In hacking the LiveCD I learned quite a bit more about scripting
and Makefiles and will continue to research in order to accomplish an
idea I hatched while I watched the LiveCD build itself on my PC.
I really really enjoyed building LFS this time. Just wanted to mention
about the patches.
