OK, paying more attention this time...looks like -f only removes the destination "if it cannot be opened". That's why LFS uses "--remove-destination" in the Glibc instructions on the command to copy the timezone file to /etc/localtime, so maybe that option is what's needed here, because it removes the destination file *before* trying to copy anything. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
