i dont think /tools is that important,
yes it makes things simple by agree on a common decision,
but since i 'm using new version, i cant see the necessarity to apply
all lfs-book patch,
i guess thats' the real valuable point to insist on /tools, isn't it?
and what if i say that i have changed to /tools and still experience
the same problem?
In my previous message, I did in fact list at least one *practical*
reason to use /tools (not just "because the book does"). Of course, the
real question is - why *would* you change it? There is no purpose to
doing anything different - and all the necessary work to accomodate the
differences (like modifying several patches) - for a directory name that
won't even exist in the final system. And yes, if you start completely
over and use /tools, and still have the same problem, then you may very
well be worth helping.
And yes, most of the lfs patches are still needed. Again, if you
actually understood the build process (and you *shouldn't* be attempting
to do anything differently until *after* you have followed the book
exactly a few times and know how it works), you would know this.
