CLFS Boot Method

linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – Hello, A few years ago (2006) I built my first LFS system. It was GREAT! LFS was by far my best linux system ever, I used the More Users package managment system and everything. So, having one LFS system under my belt you'd think I'd know what I was doing, but the truth is I'm still an idiot, and need help with the simplest of things. Such as moving forward on a CLFS build. I'm building a multilib system on my laptop. It has one hard drive with Windows XP on the first Partition (Wahoo, once I build this CLFS I've finally found a way to dump Windows forever), and a half built CLFS system wit (HowTos)

Resuming build with lfs live-cd 2 years 20 weeks ago

Hi,

I am using lfs live cd for building CLFS Version SVN-20100828-x86_64-Multilib. I was able to build till 10.4.1. Installation of Perl and had to quit due to few errors or possible mistakes on my part.

I wish to the chroot and start over. How do I find out what went wrong and rectify it. I am a BSD user and this is bit trivial for me.

I'm using CLFS-embedded to build a minimal virtual machine--with great results except that my machine seems to be incapable of communicating with a DNS server. (Please note that I haven't been exactly following CLFS as I have been using it as a rough guideline--for example I haven't built it using a cross-compiler toolchain because my target architecture is the same.

Hi all, I'm on a pure64 CLFS system, and I wish to install IcedTea. There seems to be a circular dependency involving Ant, and BLFS does provide a way to overcome this, but the required binary for the purpose is 32-bit. I couldn't find an appropriate binary for this purpose (Where does BLFS source it's .bin from?). Has anyone successfully installed IcedTea on a 64-bit C/B/LFS system?

Resuming lfs build 2 years 21 weeks ago

Happy Holidays!

I am trying to build CBLFS, I understand that I need to build CLFS first. I have some doubts -

1. Can I use parted magic live cd (x86) to build CLFS-x86_64. Parted loads fast and is flexible. I tried build with LFS Live CD but there are issues building latest stable LFS with 2.6.22 kernel in LFS Live CD. I can use openSUSE as well but I dont have much space in /home.

2.

Im Starting Out 2 years 44 weeks ago

hey, im very very new in the world of linux. I came from the linux live cd (Tinycore) and very much loved every thing about it. But i want to try new things and i saw the "Linux From Scratch".

and my first stupid question is, what is the difference between LFS and CLFS?

I have an existing Windows 7 GPT installation, which already has a EFI System partition.

I am now trying to install a Linux on a separate harddisk, which is also GPT formatted. I did not find any working way to get grub booting without EFI system partition, so my question is:

Is it possible for grub2 to use the same EFI System partition as windows?

Currently I try to build a embedded Linux from scratch with the instructions from Cross Linux from Scratch.

Everything worked fine until I tried to compile the GCC Cross-Compiler. I want to build the Linux for the Beagleboard-xM...
