We all accept the idea that gov. sometimes must step in to protect the health and welfare of the country, but I think that the recent "Cell Phone Right to Know Act" (H.R.6358) is rather overboard. The idea is to protect people from scary cell phone radiation by establishing, not just required cell phone labeling, but a host of associated regulations, and government research spending. The bill is 16 pages long and requires carriers to record and provide a host of detailed cell phone usage...

LFS 7.2 progression report 1

Posted 09-10-2012 at 06:46 PM by ReaperX7

I made it to Grep-2.14 today and so far everything is compiling correctly and no problems that can't be solved are halting the effort.

I did run into one problem today with binutils-2.22 second pass, in which I had to remove the binutils-build directory and all files before it would build for the second pass. Not bad, but this wasn't in the documentation. There should be some added hints to remove/delete or clean up old workspaces and directories for multiple passthroughs for compiling,...

Just got to section 5.8 of the LFS handbook, "Binutils-2.22 Pass 2", and save-stated my Virtual machine. Everything is slowly coming together.

I have a sizable build tomorrow with "GCC-4.7.1 Pass 2" and finishing the rest of the Temporary system, but I should be able to get it all done.

Another day, another laptop that has crashed - gee I just gotta love M$ stuff - it's just so reliable, ain't it ?. Boot a 'nix live_cd and look at those partitions. Gee - what's that? A yellow triangle against the C: drive - that's SDA3 - ain't it? Must be, as that little, boot, partition is SDA1. No that's not right - SDA1 is PQrecovery, SDA2 is boot, SDA3 is C: drive. That's better. No it's not -the live 'nix cd can't read the partition's data - rat's that means that I can't copy out this person's...
