My initial reaction is no. It's not a book issue, but an upstream package issue. Do we add an erratum for every upstream issue we find? > Also, on 5 of the 6 machines (desktops, running 3.11 or later > kernels) the last/last test in 2.24 fails when running the tests as > a user on a completed system before installing the newer version.

When I investigated, it was a test issue in the LFS build environment because it did not yet have everything needed for dns name resolution. I'm using 3.11.4 right now. -- bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
