[SOLVED] Starting LFS for an eee pc 1001px

Asuvent · 11-20-2011, 11:42 AM

Well, after installing many different linux distros on my little eee pc 1001px, I decided it would be best if I made one for my needs. That, and I have a lot of time to kill on my hands...

So my question is this:

Since it is a netbook, and I do not want to install another distro to this other than LFS, I need to find a LiveCD that can be installed on an 8GB flash drive (a little overkill, I know) that could install LFS 7.0 with little to no changes to the LiveCD. Any suggestions?

Hi you say you have linux distros installed already. If so you can use 1 of them as the host, I have just used Ubuntu 11.04 as the host. Is this an option?

I can use that, thank you! Did you have to do anything special other than install the requisite packages for the host system?

EDIT: I had a linux OS (ubuntu 11.10) on the hard drive, but I have since gotten rid of it because it bogged the computer down to the point where it was painful watching it load up. This was only magnified when I tested out Knoppix on my flash drive and saw how amazingly fast it was by comparison. It also doesn't help that I'm not a huge fan of Unity...

Just check out the host system requirments in the preface run the scipt against your system, Just because it sayes ok at the end check each entry is correct

An opinion: i think that a better solution is to compile the LFS on a greater pc, than copy all the files on the netbook with a live

Atom is sooooo slow
