I pasted my host.def which made my default /usr thus /usr/X11R6 doesn't exist, thus I can't have a link pointing to /usr/bin/X11 from a position that doesin't exist. I still don't understand why the ln commands are written with the parent specification. Because that makes them subjective to which position they're being entered.
If I just follow the instruction that doesn't apply to my installation, I'm not learning anything and the philosophy of lfs is lost.
