The way you've written this seems to imply that the LFS book is incomplete or missing instructions. This is, in fact, not the case - at least not in this instance: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter05/chapter05.html The above page explains that at the beginning of a package page you are expected to have already unpacked the specific package tarball and used 'cd' to move into the unpacked package directory. This saves us from having to repeat the exact same commands for every package. What's more, when following the book instructions, you should have already been su-ed as lfs, so implying that the book is missing those instructions is also incorrect. Please *read* the book. All of it. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
