In recent CDs the sources are actually in /lfs-sources. Doesn't that resolve the problem? Also, with unionfs, the entire CD is writable, so making a link, /sources shouldn't pose a problem. Also, having the sources on a top-level directory allows us to easily access the tarballs from some other system just by mounting the CD somewhere. They aren't kept inside the squashfs archive. > In my opinion we should take a harder line with this approach to > building LFS, but - we can't so perhaps making it more base user > friendly is an option. Indeed. On recent CDs there shouldn't need to be any deviation from the book. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
