Delete Linux-2.6.22.5 Package

hanku · 09-30-2008, 04:09 PM

I am currently on Chapter 6.7, installation of Linux API headers and just realize that I delete the Linux-2.6.22.5 tar ball from my sources directory. Is there a way to retrieve it from the LiveCD again? I used the LiveCD as my host system up to chapter 5.

Thanks in advance for the help,

Do I have to start over for committing this dumb mistake?

On the root of the livecd is a directory called lfs-sources
in there are all the source files required, cant you just copy it out of there into your $LFS/sources/ ?

Alrite, I was in the chroot environment. I exited and copied the missing packages to the sources directory from lfs-sources, then re-enter the chroot environment. Just making sure, is there anything wrong by doing this?

my recommendation would be to use a 2nd shell to do the copying and avoid exiting the environment, but exiting and re-entering the chroot should work also as long as you make sure to do all the work you origionally did when you entered the chroot.

I second that! more mistakes can be made while exiting and entering chroot, just user anotehr terminal to copy/add files the $LFS/source directory permissions are set withthe sticky bit to it should be okay to do so.
