Re: [lfs-support] lfs 7.4 / Section 6 - Building the LFS System as sudo?
You want to run these commands as root (by using sudo). Douglas Reno -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

You stay root anyway as long as you're in the chroot. I see the chroot is coming up in 6.4 but before that here are some commands that need to be entered in the 6.2 section. Do I enter those as sudo or as lfs? Thanks. The book tells you.

Re: [lfs-support] lfs 7.4 / Section 6 - Building the LFS System as sudo?
Hello, On Ubuntu and Mint, I found out that if you run: sudo passwd root And set the password, you can run su - root and login as root. I do this as one of the first things when setting up a Ubuntu or Mint system because I cannot stand sudo. Hope this helps!
