1. Should I expect bash history to work without problem at this point?
I ask this because I already have an example where bash is not working
normally. Outside of lfs I can type the following and the bell rings:
echo $'\a'. I wanted to use this with lfs to tell me when some job had
finished but silence is the main result of its use. Hence my doubt
about bash history within chapter 6.
2. If bash should be working normally, I've obviously done something
wrong. Is the best way forward to restore the state I saved at the end
of chapter 5, checking after each package, or is there some better
way? (Incidentally, I powered down after 6.14: gcc-3.4.3 and I don't
remember strange arrow keys before then.)
Actually that is exactly the way bash should work at that point. I don't
really see the problem - history is working fine. Whenever you scroll up
by more than one command, then you will only be able to scroll back down
to the previous command - it won't give the blank line. This is fixed
after you install bash in chapter 6.
