About a month or so ago, I messed around with building a
system using
the headers_install set from the kernel. What I did to get
it working
in jhalfs was this.

1. Run ./jhalfs so it checks out the current LFS book and
and does the
command processing.

2. Go to /mnt/lfs/jhalfs in a second terminal. Wipe out the
lfs-commands directory and the Makefile since you'll want
to be sure
they're regenerated.

3. Enter the lfs-svn-`date` (can't remember what it's
called)
directory where the book sources are. This is the essence of
the
change. The commands need to be in the source XML of the
book because
that's where jhalfs gets commands and generates the
Makefile from.

This kind of sucks if you're not familiar with the book.
The nice
thing is that this directory is a working svn tree, so you
can do `svn
diff' at any time to see what you've changed. For an
example of adding
packages, setting the order, etc., see this diff:

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~dnich
olson/lfs-trunk-headers_install.diff

Manuel's suggestion of the "Working copy" is
initially pulling from
svn, doing your changes and then telling jhalfs where this
tree is.
This will keep jhalfs from trying to pull it's own tree.
This is much
better, but what I've described above might help get you
going
initially.

4. After you've made the changes you want, go back to the
first
terminal and do ./jhalfs again. It will find an existing svn
tree and
use that, but regenerate lfs-commands and the Makefile.

5. Run jhalfs as you normally would to build (I go to
/mnt/lfs/jhalfs
and "sudo make", but that's just me). Find out
your fix didn't do
exactly what you wanted it to do. Or find out that you need
to
hard-code something in the jhalfs scripts. Repeat steps 2-4.

Thanks Dan and Manuel,

I have managed to get to a working solution using Manuel's
tip about 
using a local working copy and Dan's tip about cleaning the
lfs-commands 
and Makefile before starting over.

Happy days!!!
