Certainly the last usb disk I bought came with a single ntfs partition.

You'll have to reformat it in ext4. Once it's mounted on $LFS, it should behave like any other partition. I was thinking about this same idea some time ago. Imho it's not necessary to format the USB stick with a dedicated Linux filesystem. Most Live Linuxes or install media come formatted with FAT, usually FAT32. I've never seen that. Every live system/iso I've seen has been ext2/3/4. Most recently, everything is ext4.

Imho it's not necessary to format the USB stick with a dedicated Linux filesystem. Most Live Linuxes or install media come formatted with FAT, usually FAT32. I'd love to learn build a squashfs Linux image, maybe together with unionfs to make it writable and persistent.

Yes, I read that argument in the May '14 list. What is the requirement for attr/acl/libcap in lfs? Systemd was the suggestion I read. But that's not part of lfs--unless that's where LFS is going. Why can't they be installed as part of BLFS? They used to be. > > -- Bruce -- Paul Rogers paulgrog...@fastmail.fm Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
