Yes, you should unpack them and cd to the directory which was created. And yes, you do that, and all the rest of the build, as root (apart from some of the coreutils tests, if you run them). I don't remember anybody else asking this question. Looking at section 5.1 I can see where you are coming from. I guess by the time you get into chroot, most people are comfortable with untarring and cd'ing and don't give it another thought. I'm sure that I didn't when I started. 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
