You can't 'install' anything as a user unless you install into the user's home directory. You shouldn't need to install anything under the user's home directory. Just build everything as an unprivileged user, and then install as root as per the book's instructions. Even that is not 'best' practice, but is the current 'recommended' practice...hopefully that will change for 7.0, but 7.0 is a *long* way off. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
