Actually, the phrase 'uncompress the GCC-4.x tar file into the GCC-4.x directory' can be interpreted in more than one way. Scott probably meant it correctly, but just in case - you should be in /mnt/lfs/sources and extract the tarball there (tar -xvf for any recent version of tar), do NOT first create a directory - probably wouldn't cause any damage, but would be unnecessary. Also note that I'm suggesting tar -xvf because sometimes the directory name might not be exactly the same as the tarball name. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
