I was out at the barn feeding the animals and I thought the same exact thing. That some *broken* packages have hard-coded paths to /usr. But it's been a long time since we alphabetized the installation and almost every package has been updated since. I wonder if that brokenness has been fixed. Worth a jhalfs try to see if we can move coreutils and sed into alphabetic order. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.23] [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] 11:54:00 up 1:02, 1 user, load average: 0.07, 0.02, 0.03 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
