Apples and oranges. In LFS, you are chrooted. No damage to the host can happen. I know I wouldn't run make created from an unknown (and untested by me) Makefile without first running it to a DESTDIR. I can't be the only one that doesn't trust other people's work when your host system is at stake. Don't construe this is a gig to the ALFS team, it is simply something I will not do (run make as root when I'm not certain of the outcome). -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 19:50:00 up 5 days, 17:49, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
