So, I am in the middle of an 8.3 build, in that I have Chapter 5 (with util-linux) completed. Were I to carry on with the Chapter 6 instructions (PkgUser) butre-order them to match your new ordering, what do you think the chances of things working are? Reason for asking is that I'd rather not rebuild Chapter 5 with the updated packages if possible. I guess the underlying question would be, if one has a /tools with util-linux in it, would that break anything that is now done in the new build order?
