This is one of the unrealized reasons I suggested including links on each page to the more important instruction and overview pages. Having unobtrusive links to the steps common to each package available on each page serves to remind users that those steps are there and, in this case, would help people who *must* memorize everything to do so. In time, we all memorize the book, but doing so is far easier when one can easily flip from page to page and quickly see what we're looking for. Waiting for text to be read must be extremely frustrating, as must be searching for a page of info when you can't see what you're looking for. While the Book may be technically correct, it isn't necessarily friendly. To be sure, I'm not suggesting the book be rewritten or reformatted just to coddle people through the entire process. But perhaps a checkbox that shows or hides the 'training wheels' would suffice. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
