It was recognized that there might be a problem with the book. As of this writing, it has not been proven that there is a problem with the book To prove that, just needs for someone to make the attempt to build from 6.1 to 6.6 by hand to elimiate the possibilty of a script introducing some peculiar effect. But, due to debate, that point has become obsolete since the book has been obligingly updated. > I haven't read where anyone claims that the book is infallible.

That's the way it works. >> I thought the purpose of a support mailing list was to help users solve >> THEIR problems. My mistake, I guess. Everybody is happy to help solving problems encountered while building a system according to the instructions in the book LFS-DEV is for discussing the contents of the book. Disagreements irritate everybody and should go private email and then the result can be summarised. At least that is what I thought. The LFS books are great and the support is great. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
