For example, this sentence from the book might help ) What is the BLFS position on this? ) ) All of the BLFS instructions install programs in /usr with optional ) instructions to install into /opt for some specific packages. That sentence, along with the information pertaining to the exact package, and the actions you took when you built should tell you where to look. >>> Not complaining just suggesting, It would be nice if there was more >>> information then just that sentence. :) >> It's in the book. > > What is in the book and where?

What is meaningless about Read the section entitled "The /usr Versus /usr/local Debate" What about that sentence is there that you do not understand, or which needs clarification? It seems like a straightforward english sentence in second person singular imperative mood active voice. The only thing not specified is which book, but that should be clear from the context of BLFS echo. If you have enough time on your hands, then # find / -name "<insert file name here>" -print should tell you where it is, though that's hardly something that someone who is comfortable with UNIX should need explained, and it's certainly not the preferred method. Anyone building BLFS should be pretty comfortable with UNIX and how it generally works, and even how it gets built. Incidentally, once you get your system working, you probably should do regular backups, anyway. That would be one of my highest priorities, as soon as I got LFS to boot. Full backup. You might want to do incrementals, or even fulls, after each complete package install which works. I'd want to get a backup system installed as the first one (after its dependencies, that is). I like yackup. Mike -- p="p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} Oppose globalization and One World Governments like the UN. This message made from 100% recycled bits.
