Two thoughts (as someone who creates his own scripts to do this). First, give some thought to catching error messages (e.g. by logging stderr), whilst remembering that every script you create will bring its own new bugs. Second, and more importantly, the perfect is the enemy of the good-enough. Only you can decide if what you have built is good enough, but I get the impression you are exceedingly willing to throw away your current build and start again. You perhaps need to ask yourself why *you* are building LFS. Throwing a system away to hopefully make a better version isn't wrong, but it isn't necessarily productive. Always try to learn as much as you can from a build (that might be a case of "do as I say, not as ! do" - I've recently noticed several times that I've thrown away the build and DESTDIR install of a BLFS package, and then asked myself a question about something I hadn't checked in it). Whatever you do, enjoy it. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
