While it already has Linux on it it is a minimal installation as it has no compiler and no means of installing software manually, other than the few packages Asus saw fit to make available for it. To this end I will need to boot from a USB flash drive, is this done any differently than with a CD/DVD drive? How do I install the image to this device? Thanks in advance. A. Ubuntu has a very easy utility in Jaunty (9.04). Get any bootable iso (you could try the LFS live CD but I am not sure if it's h/w detection will support newer machines), then select System-Administration-USB Startup Disk Creator It will create a bootable USB stick from your iso.

It doesn't have a compiler but it does have a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T), a browser, and even wget; so no, you can't build software on it but you can install binaries of your choice as root. I have an EeePC for note-taking at events, and some web surfing and email, so I haven't done much with it. Maybe you could create another partition and install LFS on that partition from a USB flash drive. Then you could adjust grub accordingly -- just an idea. However, storage space may be a problem.

If you look at how we build without the package users approach, you'll see that we let glibc (and potentially every other package) install whatever it is set to install. From time to time, people using package management have noted that files are overwritten, and *very* occasionally the book has been changed because of that. Since you have signed up for the pain of using 'package users', I suggest that you look at what is going to be installed, and compare it to what is already there. ISTR that glibc might not support DESTDIR installs, so it's probably easy to destroy the build. Perhaps the easiest thing might be to copy the directory (including any subdirectories) to somewhere else (on the host system), make a full backup of the new system before installing glibc, install, and then compare the before-and-after contents. I will be a little surprised if any files are actually replaced. My memory suggests that glibc adds more files to what is already there (and if you don't install them, I very much doubt that you will be able to complete the new system). If I'm wrong, or your view is different, you can wipe out the new system and restore from the backup - that will also test whether your backup process works ;-) Short summary - the first time you build LFS, folllow the book. After that, feel free to explore whatever aspects of it interest you, but remember that if you break it you get to keep both pieces. ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, OMG poneys! -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

You might consider using three (at least) partitions. Two of them
can be small (like 5GB). One of those is the current active LFS,
the other for in progress LFS. The third, larger, is /home for
the data areas for users etc.
You might want also a /boot, though that isn't necessary. It does
help with GRUB a little bit. That way you have a place to put your
kernel images, when doing the install. It also makes it easier to
edit the GRUB configuration and menu files.
