building BLFS
I take it I can still carry on building blfs from within he chroot enviroment as I have been lfs. When in the chroot can I switch to a created user to install packages

I don't see why not. I'm thinking of doing that myself to copy and paste some of the longer scripts while installing X.
What I did was make a full backup of my L.F.S. installation, once it was complete. That way, if I do mess anything up, I can always go back to the beginning (or the end of LFS). |
Hi,

One reason _not_ to do this: A chrooted environment uses the hosts kernel, not the one LFS is build on (and this is also true if the kernel number is the same!!!). Another reason would be: The hosts /dev, /proc and /sys are uses. The reason one builds an LFS system and on top BLFS is to use it. If you finished LFS successfully, you have a mean lean LFS system which is perfect to build BLFS on. I really don't see the up-side of continuing use of the chrooted environment to build BLFS if you have a working LFS to do this. Quote:

Hi,
A tip that might make BLFS building life a bit easier: If you have finished BLFS chapters 1, 2 and 3 the first packages you should install: - GPM - lynx You now have a working mouse and web browser and can copy/paste when needed and can also read the BLFS html documentation and download needed stuff from the internet. Do remember to re-install lynx at a later point if you want to include all the optional stuff mentioned in the chapter. Hope this helps. |
