live and learn

Hi, Started reading and doing what the book says (6.6). Didn't take too long before I got myself into trouble. :-( In Host system Requirements, the instructions explicitly wants '/bin/sh' to be pointing to bash. Mine was pointing to dash. So I endeavoured to change it by deleting the symlink

Thanks for all your tips, advice, lectures, opinions, etc. Very positive community. I think I'm going to enjoy my LFS experience. I can definitely say that despite the obvious lesson for me here (think before [Enter]), mistakes aren't necessarily a completely negative thing, as you can learn a

The 6.6. book calls for gcc-4.4.3. Is it necessary to use gcc-4.5.1 instead? If so, is gcc-4.5.1 compatible with the rest of the packages in 6.6? /carl h. 2010/12/6 Fady Fawzy fadyfaw...@hotmail.com: Hello, Ensure that your command using --disable-multilib  --disable-decimal-float options.

Hi, I'm at the last stages of LFS-6.7, section 8.4.3 Testing The Configuration. After rebooting, starting GRUB from the command line, and booted into my LFS installation as indicated by 8.4.3, I had errors in several boot scripts. The cause was line 17 of '/etc/rc.d/init.d/sysconfig/localnet'
