Not sure there was a point.
However, at the risk of seeming to go out of the way to justify
something probably not needing to be justified, a quick scroll through
the document shows:
In Chapter 6 there are a few "extra" commands (LIGHT-BLUE) boxes where
some additional commands were needed to the core LFS stuff.
Eg the Bison section has
Make /usr/share/aclocal an install directory as bison has created it.
# Drop back to root
chown root:install /usr/share/aclocal
chmod ug=rwx,o=rxt /usr/share/aclocal
and in Hotplug there's a
The package user cant create the directory file /var/log/hotplug so
# Drop back to root
mkdir /var/log/hotplug
chgrp hotplug /var/log/hotplug /var/run/usb
su hotplug
cd hotplug-2004_09_23
and in procps, I dont do the install as the asterisked part from the
original LFS
Install the package:
***make install***
but make a note that
The procps installation wants to execute the command `ldconfig'. This
will fail for 2 reasons:
1) A package user does not have /sbin in its PATH
2) Package users are not allowed to overwrite /etc/ld.so.cache
so
make ldconfig='' install
Maybe if you grab the source of the page and look for
class=wronguserinput
and
class-kmbuserinput
you'll see where I coddled things away from the SVN book as it was at
that time.
As you have noted, there isn't that much difference though, which I
think is a testament to how well developed the core LFS approach is,
as well as how it is to apply "Your Rules" to "Your Distro".
