Those (the '' thing) were quotes I used for inclusion in text. Instead of writing [ blah ] I just wrote ''[ blah ]'' inline. Remove the quotes (luckily they enclose empty strings so even if you don't remove them, they should not change the meaning of the expression). -- -Aleksandar Kuktin -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
