I guess you would say that it doesn't work. BTW http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/index.html little to none of that is true, only an opinion of the editors.

Ok so LFS will not accept my corrections when the book is incorrect, I got that, that is why I don't bother with sending in corrections any more.
