Silly me and MY fat fingers. I am in the course of rebuilding. Abandoned the old model. Working on a new build. Since I'm assembling bash scripts for the construction of the thing, I've decided to step back through it one careful accurate well-struck note at a time. Perhaps at some point in the future I'll have a nice LFS waltz, if not a symphony. One item of suspicion, I noticed that on the previous build, while working in my chroot environment, I'd another tab in the terminal set to /mnt/lfs/sources ... occasionally, I'd jump to that tab and reload a bz2 or something like that. One or two errors popped up in my chroot environment. Suddenly, I suspected that to be the problem ... maybe not. In any case, I've one terminal and only one tab ... chroot. Things seem to be going swimmingly ... until this -npl -Npl moment. Thanks for the accurate advice. How many damned hours have I spent at this keyboard and how many times have I told myself, "if it don't work, check 2 things: command syntax and file permissions." r. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
