ciao,

hope that's the right place to post this note, should this not the case,
please accept my apologies and let me know what is better.

i have just installed lfs on an old thinkpad a21 just to check it out.

since i had only system rescue cd 2.0.1 handly to give lfs a try, i
decided to move forward with it even if not supported/raccomanded.

basically, everything went quite fine following the amazing book step by
step, but for two little issues i would like to report them just in case
someone might find them of any interest.

1. system rescue cd lacks bison and texinfo. i am not sure which
problems that could arise, so i just installed them by hand. to avoid
any conflict i installed them in $LFS/opt and added $LFS/opt/bin in the
lfs user's path (i guess there surely be a better way, that's the first
coming to my mind...)

2. gettext hangs while installing when configure checks for the right
place to put the .elc files after checking for emacs. as far as i
understand, problem arises because system rescue cd actually holds zile,
being emacs a symlink to zile binary. i tried to configure adding the
- --without-emacs option, but nothing changed. also in this case, the
fastest way i found was just to rm the emacs symlink.

i would also like to take the chance to congrat the lfs team for the
great job, as i said the book is just amazing :)

regards,
