I can't determine what version of File to use in the book. I used 4.26. DJ's book uses 4.23 (4.23 is what is in SVN right now). I really couldn't find the resolution of the problem described above in all the different posts on the subject, so I don't know which version to use. I'll skip the File package update for now. Any advice would be appreciated. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
