You must do this in two other spots in the book and it has always bugged me as well. I remember not too long ago someone posted that they got all screwed up because they went back into the book following the instructions, forgot that the went *back* in the book, and picked up in the next section, forgetting that they were *back* in the book. I have done the same exact thing. Anyway, as long as you're trying to remove confusion, I'd like to see th mention of going *back* to GCC Pass1 in the GCC Pass2 instructions to just include the instructions again instead of saying to go back to the Pass1 instructions. And, more importantly, I'd like to see the GCC test suite instructions in chapter 6 instead of Chapter 5. I think it is ridiculous that in Chapter 5 you recommend not doing the tests, yet the instructions and information about running the tests are in chapter 5. Then when you get to Chapter 6 and the book says *don't fail* to run the checks, you have to go back to Chapter 5 to get anything meaningful. It just makes no sense at all. -- 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] 18:57:01 up 36 days, 6:34, 1 user, load average: 0.36, 0.25, 0.23 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
