I see your thinking, but in theory (following the dependency tracking malarky) you can't install the package manager first in chapter 6, because the package manager would have dependencies of its own which must be satisfied in order to install the package manager (yep, its a headache). So: Chapter 5, build entire toolchain End of chapter 5, build deps for package manager and then the package manager itself Chapter 6, build packages of each section, in the order they appear in the book, then install each package after you've built it As for when you build the package manager for the final system, you could do this at any point in chapter 6 where the deps of the package manager have been satisfied, however, as you still have access to the one in the toolchain, I'd see no advantage of working out when its best to do this, I'd just finished chapter 6 and then build my package manager. Hope thats clearer, I was a tad sleepy when writing my previous messages, so apologies for that.
