I went throuch cvs...and compiling inetutils with the default book options,compiling fails. If you add the --disable-ftp option,then is builted fine,even without the patch. In the stable release even with the --disable-ftp option,compiling will fail if you don't apply the patch which is in the book. That's why i mentioned netkit-ftp,as a workaround for them that they would like a ftp client during their build,some kind of a temporary solution. But as Bruce Dubbs mentioned,i think that wget and possible a text browser must be included in the Lfs book. Matthew. My respects to you. I would never thought to look into the iputils Makefile. It's like an old saying from my country.
