Even if saving space on the partition is not crucial, there are a some reasons for me to clean up /tools anyway: /tools is intended to be a somehow minimal set of tools required to build chapter 6. Debugging symbols are not needed for that and man pages shouldnt be either. So I would at least like to see a chapter 5 stripping note telling me that I have "unused stuff" in /tools that can be removed. Furthermore I like to "backup" /tools, e.g. for reference or to start several chapter6 (-like) builds. Knowing about what can be removed from /tools is helpful for that too.
Whats wrong with having a stripping note that can be skipped by people who do not want/need to clean up /tools? Uwe -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
