Don't make your bootable an extended (I don't think this will work if I
remember right), and why is swap first?
Do yourself a favor, and unless dealing with windoze, just make your
bootable the first partiton. Give it 250mb, make it /boot, done. Get
jiggy with it any other way from there. That'll support raid, crypto,
lvm, btrfs, zfs, or whatever else you want to do as long as there's
always a clean /boot first and modules are hooked in your initrd.

Cool... it seems a more recent version of cfdisk will create
filesystems but the version of cfdisk on the host system won't. How
can I get that version? I tried to apt-get (thinking it was a more
recent version) it but it couldn't find cfdisk and the package it
comes in is already the most recent version. Could I download and
compile it? or do you think cfdisk was modified by the distribution
(mx14) it came on?

I was so excited! I installed the debian syatem but when I tried
to mount the LFS partition it said
"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda9,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so"
then as I was trying to investigate the LFS partitions cfdisk
wouldn't even start and fdisk kept saying
"Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be
corrected by w(rite)"
Writing didn't correct the problem so instead of bugging you I
figured that this might have something to do with the fact that I
set the LFS partitions up when I installed debian. So I
reinstalled debian w/o setting up the LFS partitions and now now
cfdisk starts and I set the partitions up. But it won't let me
create the file system. this is what happens:
root@debian:~# mkfs -v -t ext4 /dev/sda6
mke2fs 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)
Could not stat /dev/sda6 --- No such file or directory
The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?

as you can see the device does exist. sda1 is swap for the debian
system which is in sda5. sda6 is going to be the LFS system and
sda7 is going to be the swap for LFS when I get done.
Please, what did I do wrong or else what is the problem?

well..... I just realized that there must be a reason that
the glibc line was commented out in the LFS book so I'm not
going to worry about it. regarding your line I did enter it
and it returned nothing. then I re-read the the text
concerning that and it finally dawned on me..... I want all of
them or none of them and if I only had 1 or two of them it is
okay to delete the ones that are there. I get there.... even
if it does take me a little longer. I wish this wasn't the
case but at least I can blame the head injury for the
difficulties. I'll start working on it when I get home from
work tonight.

Michael, have you even looked at what is in line 32 of
your version-check.sh?
Among other things, because 'glibc' is more than a program
(it is more like the whole engine running under the hood),
and your system would not even boot up is you don't have
'glibc' (which is a whole lot system)
You'll learn that as you read LFS.
Did you ever try:
find /lib/ /*/lib/ -name lib${X}.la

well, I didn't have a problem getting these files with
a standard
installation of debian; it was only after I tried with
a net install of
debia. So right now I'm downloading a current dvd iso
of debian and after
the install I'll see if that helps.

It appears the two files were not installed
