Is there any problem with making a new directory at the filesystem base level?
In theory there could be a distribution which already has a /tool directory. But I have never heard of that. What alternatives are there to /tool ? If /tool is so abhored, why not try /usr/local instead ? What happens when you do that? The /usr/local directory must be empty for this to work and you shouldn't do anything other than build LFS on this system. But if you dislike /tool , it should be worth a try. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
