So it appears. But is that sufficient reason for it remaining so? Alphabetical order really makes very little sense. Utility, more so. Less and vim are useful! > Given that it is so easy to access files from outside chroot with host > tools, I really don't want to change that.

And one can reasonably argue that anyone qualified to build LFS should find that obvious. It's helpful to do as much as possible in the chroot--shouldn't be confusing, but if it could be eliminated... Call it an ulterior motive, but the second time through my package manager wants to show me, "This is what I'll do to remove all these files and directories I should, if you so choose." It's nice to be able to page through that--as it is it has to use cat for Stage 2. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
