While in this discussion about version-check.sh. I acnnot understand, but it seems to be still one of the most frequent failures from the user. I gave a reply telling one user: *Each line of the output is relevant.* I would add: "If different from what is recommended in the page, fix, before proceeding." I think I note, caution or warning (in red, not yellow, but I think it is impossible in red) could be inserted just in the beginning of the page or just before the script. I have discussed this many times, apologies for writing about again. Bruce sometimes accepted, made modifications, sometimes did not. The problem is recurrent, situation is much better now, but I believe that someday a definitive "magical" solution will be found. -- []s, Fernando -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
