A2D. The install command should be used to show the proper way to do things and not rely on the umask and or other things hopefully set up correctly. Install is fool-proof. mkdir can do things wrong if the user doesn't have things set up just right. Install is simply the better example of how to do things right. -- 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] 20:21:00 up 21 days, 7:58, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.02 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
