+The alfs-discuss list discusses the development of ALFS which stands for
+Automated LinuxFromScratch. The goal of this project is to develop an
+installation tool that can install an LFS system automatically for you.
+It's main goal is to speed up compilation by taking away your need to

+Chapter 5: Instead of having the user replace &lt;host&gt; in the gcc

+directory so the 'ln' command won't complain about it. This makes it

+Swapped chapters 8 and 9. Now we first reboot and then setup networking.
+If done the other way around, networking programs won't work unless both

+work with bison (yet).

+Chapter 6: To enter chroot we first cd to the $LFS/root directory. Some
+older chroot programs have problems when you enter chroot when your
+starting directory isn't inside the chroot environment. Also we don't
+execute bash directly in the chroot'ed environment, but we start the

+enviroment. The only variable set when entering the chroot'ed

+If it is about a year old or newer it should do just fine. You will save

+You can, if you want, subscribe to multiple lists at the same time using
+one email. If you want to do so, write some junk in the subject
+line, something that isn't a valid command like "hello". Then write 
+the subscribe commands in the body of the message. The email will look 
+like:

+</literallayout></blockquote>

+<para>
+After you have sent the email, the Listar program will send you an
+email back requesting a confirmation of your subscription request. After
+you have sent back this confirmation email, Majordomo will send you an
+email again with the message that you have been subscribed to the
