LFS has really changed since it was last modified. What in the "process for trouble-shooting" do you feel the hint lacks? > I suspect that there may be some general solutions that could address a lot > of the problems, but I think documenting the problems and eventual solutions > first could be a big help. > I recommend that you just save those until we're ready to start drafting the changes to the hint. As you can tell, we're still in the process of discussing what should go in the "no frills" version. Please stay involved in that discussion. After all, you, as a "first timer" are the target. I can't speak for Tim, but I've read that hint so many times that I think I know what is't supposed to say rather than what it actually does. So your views are really valuable. For example, of course when someone supports my view I really like it :) , the comment about the basic LFS and hint were great.
Good luck. Oh, please post any failures you get while you build. My goal during my current build is to identify any new "traps" in the soon to be LFS-6.7.
