Hello, I get the point you make Fernando. I am sorry but I have written technical documentation myself for server setups and I guess I have a different approach with regards to it. I am frustrated because I HAVE followed the instructions to the letter. I do not script ANYTHING if I can avoid it. I like to see what is going on and fix any issues that come up. My approach to testing technical writing is to do the installation and document every step that I have done at the time and after the installation is completed, then I expand my notes and put it into proper sentences and steps, then I go through the server setup as per my own written instructions and make sure that they are correct. Sorry for sounding harsh, I am not meaning to be. I also notice that the issues I am having are to do with the fact that the SYSTEMD version of the BLFS book was taken offline. I have downloaded the svn copy and am trying to get it converted to html so I can see the differences. Please if someone can tell me if copying the contents of /usr/bin to /bin will cause any major issues I would appreciate it. I need this working as I have spent way too many hours getting to this point to have to trash it yet again and ditch the systemd version and go through the other LFS version.
