Thanks, I edited the instructions slightly to be able to get a
working chroot. I noticed there does not seem to be a gcc
executable. Does anyone have such a package that can be added? It
looks like some of the basic tools for building up a system are
there but others are missing. At least with GCC I can start
compiling the rest :). Getting gcc/glibc (binutils) to build correctly was
the major issue I was having when I was trying to follow the
Linux From Scratch.
