It follows from the 'don't use /usr/src/linux for the headers' comment which used to be in the book (back when people thought /usr/src/linux was a sensible place to use when upgrading their kernel - hint for those who don't grok this: untarring a root is not usually a good idea - for LFS we are making a fresh install, so it isn't necessarily bad, although building as root _has_ given a kernel problem not very long ago.). Maybe that comment is still there, I can't conventiently search at the moment. I don't think it has anything to do with package management. Trac is good for recording things that ought to be changed, but I'm not immediately sure where this would go - we don't generally talk about upgrades, although I accept that the discussion on package management does mention upgrades. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
