Sorry, I was a bit sloppy in the last message.
My question summarized - Is the following
command OK?
mkdir -pv ${LFS}/{dev{/pts,/shm},proc,sys}
I would use this in place of what is
in 6.2.3. Mounting Virtual Kernel File Systems.
I want to take care of the mount error that is
possible by resetting the build from
scratch without a reboot because the
book does not explicitly create pts and shm
and leaves it up to mount --bind.
It seems that it is not technically a 'book bug'
but more of a 'feature of my reset process'.
The replies indicate the command is OK. I will
read up on man 8 mount.
Running Fedora Core 5.
Thanks,
Peter
