It will be a patch, exclusive for BLFS, that would be applied to Coreutils after the two existing patches are applied. And all this patch will do is *additionally* suppress the installation of the hostname program. It seems more trouble than it's worth, but the patch was trivial to make, and now the book doesn't need to be changed (other than the coreutils version needs to be updated in the text). -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 14:35:00 up 61 days, 23:59, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.10, 0.40 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
