Am I wrong? Yes, it uses the already-installed host's tools, because they're the ones that match the running kernel. The new tools in /usr/obj may invoke syscalls that don't exist in the running kernel, for example. For the most part the tools used by installworld perform file system operations (e.g., cat, cp, mv, chmod) and don't actually change file contents. There are a few tools run at install time for which this isn't true (like strip) though. That list of tools needs to be kept small and carefully controlled to avoid introducing backwards compatibility issues.Received on Fri Aug 14 2015 - 12:31:56 UTC
