Yes, but you seem to have a misconception here which I cannot wrap *my* head around. Step 4 (cd $LFS/tools) is unnecessary and has no bearing on the link creation. You could be in *any* directory when it is executed. In effect the command states. Take the last element of the first parameter and use it as the name for the symlink in the second parameter. Nowhere in there is a reference to the current directory directly or indirectly. Does this help? I'm no teacher, so I may bow out gracefully now and let someone else take over. -- Whoever would lie usefully should lie seldom. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
