[lfs-support] Upgrading Between Versions

Good morning all. I have built and installed LFS, and a few packages from BLFS 7.7. Now I am looking to now upgrade to 7.8. I did not see anything in the book specifically geared toward going between LFS versions. Do I have to do anything different when doing an upgrade rather than going from

[lfs-support] Alsa Drivers Keep loading, even blacklisted

I ask here because module blacklisting is mentioned in the lfs book. I have 3 cards on my system: an onboard and two PCI cards. I want the onboard one to not load. It is too quiet and I can barely hear it; so it is therefore useless for my purposes. It is an Intel board, so in

[lfs-support] No Networking in Post Boot

LFS-7.10-Systemd. In section 7.2.1.2 the book talks about creating "/etc/systemd/network/10-eth0-dhcp.network" . Then, in BLFS Chapter 14, - DHCPCD, it talks about disabling systemd-networkd.service. So, does the file referenced in LFS 7.2.1.2 still need to be created if you install dhcpcd?

[lfs-support] A question on Multiboot

Here's the situation. I've got two LFS systems, one on /dev/sda1 and the other on /dev/sdb1. They each have their kernels in the /boot directories on those drives. So I don't have a separate /boot partition. A little bit of an oversight on my part. I know I could back up things, erase partitions

[lfs-support] the new Linux Subsystem in Win 10

Last year I heard that M$ was including a Ubuntu-based subsystem in its Windows 10 product. I wasn't sure this was actually going to work very well, but apparently it does. Can this be used to build LFS? I'm not sure it can because of the ext* file systems you would need, but i'm curious
