Don't see a reason why it is in "Creating Files" instead of "Creating Directories", too. Would say it could be moved. > This lead to another question: should we use "install" or "mkdir -pv" in > "Creating Directories"?

Maybe install is preferred because you can specify permission flags and ownership right with the command. Using mkdir would create the dir with default permissions and then you have to use a second or even third command to set permissions and/or ownership. -- Thomas -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
