%general-entities; ]> We just created a cleaned-up version of our build, now compress it so it can be archived and transferred to the target. Create a tarball of the build: install -dv ${CLFS}/build cd ${CLFS}-final tar jcfv ${CLFS}/build/clfs-embedded.tar.bz2 * Now you can move your compressed tarball to your target system. This will be different on every embedded device. When uncompressing the tarball, make sure to pass tar the "-p" switch to ensure permissions are preserved.
