Hi all In 7.14, the book recommends to remove the temporary domumentation, by rm -rf /usr/share/{info,man,doc}/* I think the same could be done with the locale files, by find /usr/share/locale -name "*.mo" -delete This would save another 70 MB of disk space. I highly doubt anyone would want

[lfs-dev] Linux API Headers not installed in Chapter 8

2020-09-22 Thread Tim Tassonis via lfs-dev
Hi all While building lfs 10.0 from the book, I noticed that the linux api headers are installed in chapter 5, but not again in chapter 8. While this of course works, as they are installed into /usr, it seems a bit inconsequential to me, as everything else seems to get re-installed in chapte
