Re: OK to Build Ch.6 with Glibc2.12.1 having Glibc-2.11.2 in Ch.5 Tool Chain?

If you are really concerned or find things you don't like, you'll certainly rebuild from scratch anyway (a PITA, to be sure). A purist would give up and start from scratch straight away. Yeah, I'm ready to rebuild if I need to. I almost started again without asking my question, but decided that would be too much like OCD. :) But I will completely rebuild if I run into something I can't solve. Thanks, Neal.

If you are mildly concerned, you can build the final glibc, make the final toolchain adjustment, then build glibc again. Then proceed with zlib, binutils, etc. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

That said, my favorite trick is to put other "grub conf" file(s) on other partitions. Then, in the main "grub conf" file, add an entry "configfile". This could look like: configfile (hd0,4)/boot/grub/grub.cfg So, my idea is to avoid touching the mbr and making it "unbootable". -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

I suspect that it would be OK. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
2 grubs
Hi. Is it possible to have 2 grubs running in a same computer? My idea is to have the first grub in mbr, with the main OS, and an entry pointing to the second grub, installed in a partition with the LFS and all its options. I could do it with lilo, but now that I'm with grub, I'd like to do the same. I tried using an entry like the one I have for win xp but no success. Is it possible to do it? thanks -- duende a rayas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
OK to Build Ch.6 with Glibc2.12.1 having Glibc-2.11.2 in Ch.5 Tool Chain?
I see that LFS-SVN has been updated and one of the changes is moving to GlibC-2.12.1. I just completed Chapter 5 using SVN-20100803 which has GlibC-2.11.2. Is it best to rebuild Chapter 5 or can I just proceed with Chapter 6 using SVN-20100808?
