Hi.
I've been an LFS user for quite a long time now, and there's one thing
(only ONE thing !) I don't like in the books : I'm used to put all the
packages I download in a directory just above /sources
(namely /sources/LFS or /sources/BLFS), and when I install a package,
there's sometimes some extra stuff to use, for example a patch, or some
extra documentation, or datas...
The instructions are allways refering to this extra material being placed
in the /sources directory (or whatever directory you use to build your
packages). Couldn't it be more practical to refer to a $BLFS_PACKAGES
variable, to permit everyone to put it wherever they want ? A variable
that should be initialized at the beginning of the books, just like $LFS
or $XORG_PREFIX or others...
Isn't this a good idea ?
Next, one typo (I think), because I'm a math teacher and want my pupils
to make the difference : in the fontconfig page of the BLFS book, there's
something like this :
"There are additional configuration files shipped with Fontconfig
in /etc/fonts/conf.d that will be enabled if their names begin with 2
numbers, e.g., /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-autohint.conf."
It should be "digits" and not "numbers" :-)
Now that I've said it, you do as you want ;-)
\bye
