yes, the dot-dot is short-hand for the current directory, less typing. the current directory might be $LFS/tools or $LFS/sources, depending on how you're doing things and how memory serves. you'll still need to change directory... lfs is a user equivalent of a temporary, working directory, or scratch file. it's one way to separate what belongs to the new system, with anything not belonging to lfs being part of the host system. so it looks like you understand the file system hierarchy that's being set up. you should be fine the rest of the way. ~rick -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
