I left that part out intentionally. ifconfig is the only utility used from net-tools, and that is only used to setup the interfaces. Force the patch and it reduces a dependency as iproute2 should be installed in LFS anyway. If not, then the optional dependency really should be put back into the book. Doesn't matter much to me, but installing all of net-tools to provide one tool that will be used twice (ok 12 times if you count the loop) is a bit overkill. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
