Mike, any partition can have the boot flag ON/OFF. The boot loader (GRUB) will choose what partition to boot from, and at that point, the boot flag *MIGHT* become an issue. With that said, the reason why you build LFS on it's own partition is because, if you don't, you'll have to move it afterwards to its own partition so you can boot it, and that may not be a trivial proposition. So, in short: boot flag? Doesn't matter. Until you have too boot... ET Michael Havens writes: > Here is something I never considered before.
