The problem with that is that it's referenced in a lot of places in the book. What needs to be done is "make DESTDIR=$PWD/tmpinstall install" and copy the files into the proper locations. There are problems with the man and info locations as will as overwriting /usr/bin/man. A warning for now may be easier. I'll see what I can do today, but I will be generally unavailable for changes starting tomorrow until Sunday. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
