But I use wget (it is a circular dependency, to install the ca-certificates). Bruce and many other people do something like that. I remember that when I started using BLFS, I did install as root some packages.

Visudo will use a system installed text editor. I use vim, so, visudo is open as a vim file. You can modify the editor used by visudo in many ways. I just searched in the internet "editor default visudo" and used the first result to change my sudoers file, adding the line: Defaults editor += /usr/bin/nano (Actually I prefer to customize sudo with files under /etc/sudoers.d and edit them with visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/my_custom_sudoers_file_name) Then, visudo opened with nano. > By the way, thank you very much for the LFS Book ( sysvinit ).

Unfortunately BLFS seems not to have a good reputation, no matter I try to improve it. Sorry for your problems, although they did not originate from me. -- []s, Fernando, aka SÃsifo -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
