| 4 | <para>Now that all software has been installed, bootscripts have been created,
|
|---|
| 5 | it's time to reboot the computer. Before we reboot let's unmount
|
|---|
| 6 | $LFS/proc and the LFS partition itself by running:</para>
|
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 | <para><screen><userinput>umount $LFS/proc &&</userinput>
|
|---|
| 9 | <userinput>umount $LFS</userinput></screen></para>
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | <para>And you can reboot your system by running something like:</para>
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | <para><screen><userinput>/sbin/shutdown -r now</userinput></screen></para>
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | <para>At the LILO: prompt make sure that you tell it to boot
|
|---|
| 16 | <emphasis>lfs</emphasis> and not the default entry which will boot your
|
|---|
| 17 | host system again.</para>
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | <para>After you have rebooted, your LFS system is ready for use and you
|
|---|
| 20 | can start adding your own software.</para>
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | <para>One final thing you may want to do is run lilo, now that you are
|
|---|
| 23 | booted into LFS. This way you will put the LFS version of LILO in the MBR
|
|---|
| 24 | rather than the one that's there right now from your host system.
|
|---|
| 25 | Depending on how old your host distribution is, the LFS version may have
|
|---|
| 26 | more advanced features you need/could use.</para>
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | <para>Either way, run the following to make the lilo version installed
|
|---|
| 29 | on LFS active:</para>
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | <para><screen><userinput>/sbin/lilo</userinput></screen></para>
|

| 32 |
|

| 33 | <para>If you are wondering: "Well, where to go now?" you'll be glad to
|
|---|
| 34 | hear that someone has written an LFS hint on the subject at <ulink
|
|---|
| 35 | url="&hint-root;afterlfs.txt">&hint-root;afterlfs.txt</ulink>.
|
|---|
| 36 | On a same note, if you are not only newbie to LFS, but also
|
|---|
| 37 | newbie to Linux in general, you may find the newbie hint at <ulink
|
|---|
| 38 | url="&hint-root;newbie.txt">&hint-root;newbie.txt</ulink>
|
|---|
| 39 | very interesting.</para>
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | <para>Don't forget there are several LFS mailinglists you can subscribe
|
|---|
| 42 | to if you are in need of help, advice, etc. See
|
|---|
| 43 | <xref linkend="ch01-maillists"/> for more information.</para>

| 45 | <para>Again, we thank you for using the LFS Book and hope you found this
|
|---|
| 46 | book useful and worth your time.</para>
