Well done! You have finished installing your LFS system. It may have
|
|
|
|
been a long process but it was well worth it. We wish you a lot of fun
|
|
|
|
with your new shiny custom built Linux system.

Now would be a good time to strip all debug symbols from
|
2001-05-06 17:43:16 +01:00
|
|
|
the binaries on your LFS system. If you are not a programmer and don't plan
|
|
|
|
on debugging your software, then you will be happy to know that you can
|
|
|
|
reclaim a few tens of megs by removing debug symbols. This process causes
|
|
|
|
no inconvenience other than not being able to debug the software fully
|
|
|
|
anymore, which is not an issue if you don't know how to debug. You can
|
|
|
|
remove the symbols by executing the following command:

If you plan to ever upgrade to a newer LFS version in the future it
|
|
|
|
will be a good idea to create the /etc/lfs-&version; file. By having
|
|
|
|
this file it is very easy for you (and for us if you are going to ask
|
|
|
|
for help with something at some point) to find out which LFS version
|
|
|
|
you have installed on your system. This can just be a null-byte file by

If you are wondering: "Well, where to go now?" you'll be glad to hear that
|
|
|
|
someone has written an <ulink
|
|
|
|
url="http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs-hints/Afterlfs.txt">LFS-Hint</ulink>
|
|
|
|
on that subject. On a same note, if you are not only newbie to LFS, but also
|
|
|
|
newbie to Linux in general, you may find the <ulink
