Slax is a portable Linux operating system I am using in order to build LFS. I entered 'grep IPV6 config.h' and I got 'grep: config.h: No such file or directory'. So, you are telling me that if the operating system I am using does not support IPv6, the operating system I am trying to build also will not support it?
