I recommend doing that, and only running it to the point of getting the "cut down" linear version of the BLFS book, rather than allowing it to attempt a full install of what you wish to have installed. That way you do not have to dive into the many bash scripts that get created. I have never used JHALF for doing a full BLFS install, as I hate programming and it gives me a headache even going through the scripts. JHALF does not run in a separate window per say. It uses a "Make" file and it brings up a menu selection, much like you get when you install the linux kernel. The beauty of it is, if you do use jhalf to create the linear versio

You need to be very familiar with the Linux operating system, and most importantly Bash, as you need a knowledge of scripting to be able to overcome the circular dependencies of some of the packages in BLFS. How would that work? I've fought with the circular dependencies a lot. You could use Jhalf, you can install it on an already installed LFS system. Using this approach, you will be able to select what you wish to be installed, from an adapted busy box menu. I've briefly read about jhalfs, but I thought it only installed LFS stuff, not BLFS.

Build packages in a clean chroot. I use the kernel overlayfs to do that even when building the base system. It protects the host from damage, when you are building and installing LFS and BLFS. It also provides a mechanism to catch errors that you don't know are happening. Sorry, but I don't know what any of that means. Can you expand on it? Alan Have a look at : https://github.com/baho-utot/Overlay for how to setup and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Overlay_filesystem https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txt https://www.datalight.com/blog/2016/01/27/explaining-overlayfs-%E2%80%93-what-it-does-and-how-it-works https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OverlayFS What the kernel overlayfs does is to create a unionfs type of filesystem. It needs three directories to work ie lower, upper, work and a direct as a mount point. I place a clone of the host system in the lower directory, the upper and work directories are empty then mount the overlay using the mount point directory. Chroot to the mount point and then setup and build LFS. Then lower directory containing the "host system" is read only, all the changes go to the upper directory. Than completly protects your host from any errors you might make. after you exit the chroot the you can look at the upper directory to see what has been added or modified. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
