I wouldnt suggest to a newcomer to not follow the book but in general when it comes to directories it is true that is a matter of preference...
now you cannot forget about it because when in the book says go to /mnt/lfs/tools you should go to the folder you created to replace that... and the cool thing comes with a long command that points to that folder somewhere and you are not able to figure out why it didnt work, well it can be that you forgot to replace the folder stated in the book by yours... Is just matter of being aware. On Sun, Jul 19, 2009 at 6:33 PM, Justin P.
