I'm a frenchman and english is not my natural language ; nethertheless I always found that the book was very clear, even the first time I built lfs. I was (and I'm always) a linux user but not a developper or sothing like that ; as to me, difficulties come where configuring the kernel ! In the first chapter, we are guided step by step. > > Hey, calm down a moment, Chris. Nobody is disputing that.

Yes but maybe people don't read carefully parts where general assumptions are done. I guess that they only take care to command lines. Maybe a suggestion for those who read to quikly : five or six lines more in each chapter, something like cd /$LFS/sources tar -xvf package-version.tar.[gz|bz2] cd package-version ... cd .. rm -vfr package-version and eventually rm -vfr package-build It should perhaps prevent people not to follow 5.3 ? -- Ph.
