Isn't this discussion somewhat moot (unless it is pertaining to building BLFS packages) as in LFS you are either: 1) the LFS user (no harm can be done) or 2) the root user in a chroot environment (no harm can be done). Perhaps I missed something in the discussion. If so, sorry for the noise. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 15:51:00 up 87 days, 1:15, 3 users, load average: 0.16, 0.15, 0.20 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
