Asking for a technical review? :-) Both methods achieve the goal! Now for a quick, non-technical overview of the effect on the book. You have reduced the amount of lines in command blocks in the book by 23, added 15 lines, and removed a page, so complexity of the typed commands is reduced slightly (that could be taken as a negative, but the removed page is explained again in chapter 6 and really doesn't compare with the next point). We gain the added educational value of explaining how and why a sysroot build works for us--something that can be, and is used outside of LFS. One really common stumbling block is removed (first toolchain adjustment). Finally, two commands that are regarded as "hacks" by some are removed (-B, and this is subjective). Assuming the result has proven sane by comparison testing (and I'm pretty sure that has already been done), the only possible downside that I see is the lost explanation of -B, which I don't recall having seen outside of LFS, but I really haven't looked either. -- DJ Lucas -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
