Hi Chris and Jim, Tks for your advice.

Whether you meant lfs:~$ cd /mnt/lfs/sources/ lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources$ and then run the command here lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources$ mkdir ../binutils-build All packages and patches for building LFS are in /mnt/lfs/sources/ However I still don't understand how following 3 hidden files exist on host FC3 root:/home/lfs# ls -al total 36 drwx------ 2 lfs lfs 4096 Jun 29 13:17 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 28 17:13 .. -rw------- 1 lfs lfs 622 Jun 29 13:17 .bash_history -rw-r--r-- 1 lfs lfs 59 Jun 28 18:37 .bash_profile -rw-r--r-- 1 lfs lfs 96 Jun 28 23:27 .bashrc Are they for the host FC3? I can't find these 3 files for LFS in /mnt/lfs/, /mnt/lfs/sources and /mnt/lfs/tools [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ls -al /mnt/lfs total 44 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jun 28 17:05 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jun 27 14:19 .. drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Jun 2 11:41 lost+found drwxrwxrwt 2 lfs root 4096 Jun 28 13:45 sources drwxr-xr-x 2 lfs root 4096 Jun 28 17:05 tools /mnt/lfs/tools is an empty directory.
