Thank you for help with my failed first attempt. Now on the second, after having rebooted the LiveCD, recopied sources, etc. Thank you for the heads-up about the middle mouse button for pasting. This second try has been much less stressful because of copy-paste.
Suggestion: In 5.1, the instructions state: "Only three of the packages need to retain the source and build directories in order for their contents to be used by later commands." Though I feel a bit meek about making suggestions, as a reader, it would be nice to have a list of the three packages ahead of time that summarizes the conditions of retention and removal. How about a short summary in 5.1 that states which packages/sections should not be removed and in which section they will be later removed. For example: "Only three of the packages need to retain the source and build directories in order for their contents to be used by later commands. [A summary of the retention and removal of the source and build directories for these three packages follows. [Binutils-2.15.94.0.2.2 - Pass 1] detailed in Section 5.1: the source and build directories will be removed in Section 5.7, after the linker is installed and adjusted. [Tcl-8.4.9] detailed in Section 5.8: the source and build directories will be removed in Section 5.9, after the installation of Expect. [Binutils-2.15.94.0.2.2 - Pass 2] detailed in Section 5.12: the source and build directories will be removed in Section 6.12, after the final linker is installed and adjusted. Please note that explicit instructions to remove the source and build directories will be given in the respective sections. If the instructions do not explictly order you to retain the sources and build directory, these directories should be removed.]" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
