I have updated the "beginner's guide to installing from source":
I just have a minor stylistic comment on this: "Some people consider
it better to always build from a temporary directory." If you don't
agree, then just leave out that sentence - after all, this is your
guide, not mine. Or, just leave it up to individual choice - the
previous parts of the paragraph already indicate the reasons somebody
might want to use a separate build directory in general.
But I do I agree with you: building from a separate directory _is_ a
good idea. I'm sometimes too lazy, but I see the point. So the phrasing
wasn't meant to be negative; I was trying to indicate to the user that
some people will advise them one way, and some the other (including the
LFS book which builds in the src dir if possible). Obviously I didn't
make that clear, so I'll have a second look and see if I can find some
better words to express that..
Thanks for the feedback.
Regards, Simon
