Hi,

A few questions:

- What are you using as host to build LFS?
- Is the host made compliant (see: Host System Requirements)?
- Which LFS version are you trying to build?
- Which chapter are you getting the error(s)?

hi...
I am using ubuntu 10.10 as host ..
building lfs version 6.7
i am getting erroe in chap 5 section 5.4 the make install command

Hi,And the most important question you did not answer....

- Is the host made compliant (see: Host System Requirements)?

Ubuntu does not meet the Host System Requirements, it needs to be made compliant. Another, in my opinion better, solution would be using the LFS liveCD, which was made to be a perfect host for building LFS.

Hope this helps.

i m building a linux o for my project and i have a limited timw left for submission ...cant i just download the lfs live cd version and present it .......is there any difference between the live cd lfs and the lfs we create through reading the book..

means can i use the lfs live cd that will lessen the time i would require to build an lfs system and can proceed to forward step of my project development..

Hi,You would know if you would have read the LFS and LFS liveCD pages. Without context I can only guess why you have limited time left, so I refrain from further comments on this.....

If you use the liveCD you won't have to make Ubuntu (you other choice) compatible, that will save some time. But you cannot cut any corner when building LFS. You do need to read all the pages and follow all the steps, only then you will probably end up with a working LFS system. "Probably?"; Yes, many fail at their first attempt.

This is a nice project to get to know the ins-and-outs of linux, but it might be a challenge if you do not have any, or very little linux experience to start with.

Whishing you luck with your project

Hope this helps.

my project dose not end with building an LFS system a ..i need to make some modification in that ...so i need to know can i use Lfs live cd as my lfs sys and do the modification in that .....aur i have to build my own lfs system

They are similar, but not the same.

thank you..1
