Now that LFS is complete and you have a bootable system, what do you do?
|
||||||
|
The next step is to decide how to use it. Generally, there are two broad
|
||||||
|
categories to consider: workstation or server. Indeed, these categories
|
||||||
|
are not mutually exclusive. The applications needed for each category
|
||||||
|
can be combined onto a single system, but let's look at them separately
|
||||||
|
for now.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
A server is the simpler category. Generally this consists of a web
|
||||||
|
server such as the
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;server/apache.html">Apache HTTP Server</ulink>
|
||||||
|
and a database server such as
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;server/mariadb.html">MariaDB</ulink>.
|
||||||
|
However other services are possible. The operating system
|
||||||
|
embedded in a single use device falls into this category.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
On the other hand, a workstation is much more complex. It generally
|
||||||
|
requires a graphical user environment such as
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;lxde/lxde.html">LXDE</ulink>,
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;xfce/xfce.html">XFCE</ulink>,
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;kde/kde.html">KDE</ulink>, or
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;gnome/gnome.html">Gnome</ulink>
|
||||||
|
based on the
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;x/installing.html">X Window graphical environment</ulink>
|
||||||
|
and several graphical based applications such as the
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;xsoft/firefox.html">Firefox web browser</ulink>,
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;xsoft/thunderbird.html">Thunderbird email client</ulink>,
|
||||||
|
or
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;xsoft/libreoffice.html">LibreOffice office suite</ulink>.
|
||||||
|
These applications require many (several hundred depending on
|
||||||
|
desired capabilities) more packages of support applications and
|
||||||
|
libraries.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
In addition to the above, there is a set of applications that are
|
||||||
|
suitable for all systems for system management. These applications are
|
||||||
|
all in the full BLFS book. Not
|
||||||
|
all packages are needed in all environments. For example
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;basicnet/dhcpcd.html">dhcpcd</ulink>,
|
||||||
|
is not appropriate for a server and
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;basicnet/wireless_tools.html">wireless_tools</ulink>,
|
||||||
|
are normally only
|
||||||
|
useful for a laptop system. If you are not sure if a package presented
|
||||||
|
here is needed or not, it can either be installed now or later as the
|
||||||
|
need arises.

<para>
|
||||||
|
When you initially boot into LFS, you have all the internal tools to build
|
||||||
|
additional packages. Unfortunately, the user environment is quite sparse.
|
||||||
|
There are a couple of ways to improve this:
|
||||||
|

<sect3>
|
||||||
|
<title>Work from the LFS host in chroot</title>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
This method provides a complete graphical environment where a full
|
||||||
|
featured browser and copy/paste capabilites are available. This method
|
||||||
|
allows using applications like the host's version of wget to download
|
||||||
|
package sources to a location available when working in the chroot
|
||||||
|
envirnment.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
In order to properly build packages in chroot, you will also need to
|
||||||
|
remember to mount the virtual file systems if they are not already
|
||||||
|
mounted. One way to do this is to create a script on the
|
||||||
|
<command>HOST</command> system:
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<screen><command>cat > ~/mount-virt.sh << "EOF"
|
||||||
|
#!/bin/bash
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
function mountbind
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
if ! mountpoint $LFS/$1 >/dev/null; then
|
||||||
|
$SUDO mount - -bind /$1 $LFS/$1
|
||||||
|
echo $LFS/$1 mounted
|
||||||
|
else
|
||||||
|
echo $LFS/$1 already mounted
|
||||||
|
fi
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
function mounttype
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
if ! mountpoint $LFS/$1 >/dev/null; then
|
||||||
|
$SUDO mount -t $2 $3 $4 $5 $LFS/$1
|
||||||
|
echo $LFS/$1 mounted
|
||||||
|
else
|
||||||
|
echo $LFS/$1 already mounted
|
||||||
|
fi
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
if [ $EUID -ne 0 ]; then
|
||||||
|
SUDO=sudo
|
||||||
|
else
|
||||||
|
SUDO=""
|
||||||
|
fi
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
if [ x$LFS == x ]; then
|
||||||
|
echo "LFS not set"
|
||||||
|
exit 1
|
||||||
|
fi
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mountbind dev
|
||||||
|
mounttype dev/pts devpts devpts -o gid=5,mode=620
|
||||||
|
mounttype proc proc proc
|
||||||
|
mounttype sys sysfs sysfs
|
||||||
|
mounttype run tmpfs run
|
||||||
|
mkdir $LFS/run/shm
|
||||||
|
#mountbind usr/src
|
||||||
|
#mountbind boot
|
||||||
|
#mountbind home
|
||||||
|
EOF</command></screen>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Note that the last three commands in the script are commented out. These
|
||||||
|
are useful if those directories are mounted as separate partitions on the
|
||||||
|
host system and will be mounted when booting the completed LFS/BLFS system.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
The script can be run with <command>bash ~/mount-virt.sh</command> as
|
||||||
|
either a regular user (recommended) or as root. If run as a regular
|
||||||
|
user, sudo is required on the host system.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Another issue pointed out by the script is where to store downloaded
|
||||||
|
package files. This location is arbitrary. It can be in a regular
|
||||||
|
user's home directory such as ~/sources or in a global location like
|
||||||
|
/usr/src. Our recommendation is not to mix BLFS sources and LFS sources
|
||||||
|
in (from the chroot environment) /sources. In any case, the packages
|
||||||
|
must be accessible inside the chroot environment.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
A last convenience feature presented here is to streamline the process
|
||||||
|
of entering the chroot environment. This can be done with an alias
|
||||||
|
placed in a user's ~/.bashrc file on the host system:
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<screen><command>alias lfs='sudo /usr/sbin/chroot /mnt/lfs /usr/bin/env -i HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1="\u:\w\\\\$ "
|
||||||
|
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin /bin/bash - -login'</command></screen>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
This alias is a little tricky because of the quoting and levels of
|
||||||
|
backslash characters. It must be all on a single line. The above command
|
||||||
|
has been split in two for presentation purposes.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
</sect3>

||||||

|

|
<title>Work remotely via ssh</title>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
This method also provides a full graphical environment, but first
|
||||||
|
requires installing
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;postlfs/openssh.html">sshd</ulink> and
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;basicnet/wget.html">wget</ulink>
|
||||||
|
on the LFS system, usually in chroot. It also requires a second
|
||||||
|
computer. This method has the advantage of being simple by not requiring
|
||||||
|
the complexity of the chroot environment. It also uses your LFS built
|
||||||
|
kernel for all additional packages and still provides a complete system
|
||||||
|
for installing packages.
|
||||||
|

<title>Work from the LFS command line</title>
|

|
|

<para>
|
||||||
|
This method requiures installing
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;postlfs/make-ca.html">make-ca</ulink>,
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;basicnet/wget.html">wget</ulink>,
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;general/gpm.html">gpm</ulink>, and
|
||||||
|
<ulink url="&blfs-book;basicnet/links">links</ulink>
|
||||||
|
in chroot and then rebooting into the new LFS system. At this
|
||||||
|
point the default system has six virtual consoles. Switching
|
||||||
|
consoles is as easy as using the Alt-Fn key combinations where Fn is
|
||||||
|
between F1 and F6. The Alt-LeftArrow and Alt-RightArrow key
|
||||||
|
combinations also will change the console.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
At this point you can log into two different virtual consoles and run
|
||||||
|
the links browser in one console and bash in the other. GPM then allows
|
||||||
|
copying commands from the browser with the left mouse button, switching
|
||||||
|
consoles, and pasting into the other console.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<note>
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
As a side note, switching of virtual consoles can also be done from
|
||||||
|
an X Window instance with the Ctrl-Alt-Fn key combination, but the
|
||||||
|
mouse copy operation does not work between the graphical interface
|
||||||
|
and a virtual console. You can return to the X Window display with
|
||||||
|
the Ctrl-Alt-Fn conbination where Fn is usually F7.
