I just asked that question a week ago! (and was answered) Anyway, it's because the headers_install process first completely removes everything in the target directory which would wipe out the stuff that is in there in Chapter 5. In Chapter 6 we could actually change it to go straight to /usr/include as there should be no files in there at the time of the headers install. -- Randy rmlinux: [bogomips 3992.15] [GNU ld version 2.17] [gcc (GCC) 4.1.2] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.5] [Linux 2.6.21.5 i686] 14:16:00 up 4 days, 5:27, 5 users, load average: 2.00, 2.13, 2.80 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
