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="&hints-root;afterlfs.txt">&hints-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="&hints-root;newbie.txt">&hints-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>
|
---|
44 |
|
---|
45 | <para>Again, we thank you for using the LFS Book and hope you found this
|
---|
46 | book useful and worth your time.</para>
