First, the command shown in the URL is as follows: mkdir $LFS/sources you should not have the /mnt/$LFS/sources as you have typed. The $LFS is a variable that you should have set to equal /mnt/LFS - try the following and see if the output is correct. If not, you need to go back some steps and confirm you followed the instructions correctly regarding the LFS variable. echo $LFS should produce /mnt/LFS In answer to the specific question, a+wt is an option that is passed to the chmod command - specifcally, to add the w (write) and t (sticky bit) attributes to a (all = user, group and other). man chmod will give you more information. -- - Steve Crosby -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
