Refer to Chapter 6, section of texinfo. There is a small paragraph telling you to regenerate /usr/info/dir with your own hands at any time you want. So you can just remove /usr/info/dir and regenerate it after everything's done with: cd /usr/share/info rm dir for f in * do install-info $f dir 2>/dev/null done --- Charles -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
