Yes, remove them at the end of each section - unless it tells you to keep them (I'm fairly sure it _doesn't_ tell you that anywhere in recent books, but the way things have been going here lately, I'm not quite sure of anything anymore ;). Actually, what matters is removing the directories before you _rebuild_ the package, if you ever have to do that. For the kernel, you should keep the built directory around if you are going to need to build external modules against it, or to look at what is in the .config if it fails to build (normally, /proc/config.gz is an easier way to check the config of the running kernel, provided you enabled it). For everything else, there isn't any obvious reason to keep the directory around, so deleting after a successful build is a good habit. 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
