LFS - Half Way there

[gmoreno]

I am at the end of chapter 6 so far so good... Cant wait till I boot into it...

congrats .. what boot scripts are you going to use .. bsd or sysV ?

hmm doesnt look like as if you are using optimizations, but if you do try to uncomment them and see if it works, else you could try to see if the lfs mailing list or the irc chan have help. If this isnt working try to go out of the chrooted environment and compile it on your current distro and change back to the chroot to install it.


<edit:> strange now the post from gmoreno dissapeared </edit>

Sorry about that I thought no one saw it.. What happened is that I got the idea to download the new version of it and compile it... And it worked... Thanks for the help ch-b

BTW I'm at the start of the last chapter... Tommorow I'll finish.. Tommorow is my day off from work...

1 question? I havent make a swap partion.. Well I just now split my home directory and now I have a small 200mb partion..

But do I need a swap partition in LFS.. Also my home partition was reiserfs.. I ran fsckreiser on resized home partition but I still can mount it.. Do I have to do something else before it can be mountable again?

If I do need a swap partition is that in the lfs book?

You can use your current distro's swap partitoin. Swap is distro indipendant.

But if LFS uses it wont it mess it up for Debian..

Nope.

No, it won't. Pretty much when you shutdown/reboot, the swap gets emptied. You can also use a swapfile if you find yourself running out of swap.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1k count=256M
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile

Will create a 256M swapfile. Then add into /etc/fstab the following:

/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0

so the swapfile will be automaticaly enabled upon boot.

Thanks for the help...
