I'm really embarrassed you would agree with this Bruce. This goes against all the principles that have been in place with LFS since day one. By using the scripted method a lot of things get missed, the text in the book. Now granted it pulls from the XML, but still nothing can beat a good pair of eyes when looking through the book.
I'm in vehement agreement...with both of you :-) I don't think that Dan and Bruce are advocating never reading the book as that is obviously the only way that the explanatory material can be proofed. However, as far as ensuring the commands in the book produce a working system then automation is obviously the preferred method of verification as it vastly reduces the chances of human error. Now, if you put two and two together, testers can be proofreading the explanatory material while jhalfs is away building their system and we have a perfect book as a result :-)
