Help changing back to root after chapter 6.8!!!!


Hi can anyone tell me how can i change back to root environment (root:/#) I created during chapter 6.4 to 6.7. I by mistake exit out of that environment and now am the root which i was at starting LFS (root [/]#)..

If it helps this one is in red text and other is gray text.

I hope i don't have to start over!

Hi,

Just re-enter the chrooted environment, as mentioned in chapter 6.4:
Code:
chroot "$LFS" /tools/bin/env -i \
    HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
    PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin \
    /tools/bin/bash --login +h
The above command does not create a permanent environment, you enter the environment you created in chapter 5.

BTW: If you rebooted, you also need to do the parts mentioned in the NOTE at the bottom of the page.

Hope this helps.
