Inetutils and ifconfig
Hey, is it possible to use ifconfig to configure my network interfaces? If I can, do I just leave off --disable-ifconfig in the configure step? If this isn't the best decision, I would love to know why.

It will just over write the existing information and probably not break anything unless a step later changes something that was done in the Inetutils step. You're a saint.

Re: Error while installing e2fsprogs-1.41.8
Aditya Bankar wrote: 98 tests succeeded 4 tests failed This is normal. The functions that fail are rarely used, but you might want to try e2fsprogs-1.41.9. I tried to install this, I ignored the errors. But it complains while installing. It says: You don't have a working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in your PATH, and texi2dvi cannot proceed without one. If you want to use this script, you'll need to install TeX (if you don't have it) or change your PATH or TEX environment variable (if you do). See the --help output for more details. But I checked that texi2dvi is installed and it can be found on my system. It's trying to build .dvi documentation and TeX is needed for that. Right after that you should see: make[2]: [libext2fs.dvi] Error 1 (ignored) Look at docs/Makefile.in to see what is happening. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
