Hi all,
Thanks for all the help with the "linux from scratch" question...The LFS
HOWTO (which I never knew about before) was (almost) exactly what I was
looking for. Anyway, I've run into a wee problem at stage 1 :)
I set up the partitions I plan to use for this, and set about making ext2
partitions to use. After trying to make them, I've run into some wee
problems. Below is the (rather terse) error message that comes back from
mke2fs (no problems with fdisk in making the partitions at all). Any ideas
what might be wrong? I've also tried (just in case some blocks were
muddled with old stuff) dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdc2, and got "No room on
device" or some such back. I've tagged on the partition table too for
perusal...turns out I have a little more than a gig free :)
Thanks,
Dave.
