Read the printed copy, but copy and paste from the web or from a locally saved copy. You can try to understand everything, but after some machines built, will discover that many things, including commands, variables, configurations, command arguments, were not clear at first sight. With the exception of those who originally built the LFS project from scratch - LFSFS :-), the ones who replied to this thread, myself included, have, at some stage been newcomers to LFS. I had difficulties, but they were exactly due to lack of the required experience. I have always had good support. Eleanore, "a high school student working during a computer class and after school on such things as LFS", if I am not mistaken, could even be considered a newcomer, as I only remember her posts since March 2012, although with much better linux background than myself, when newcomer: this is not a shame for me, but it is a honour for her. If we people were rude, you could just be ignored, at least in this thread. But we think that discussion is good and hope you have patience with us, as we have had with you (and others have had with me!). (Mis)quoting what Bruce recently said: "try to be on the technical side and remember that faces are not visible in written communication, so a relevant part of information about corporal language is missing, which could be misleading". This is a place for technical discussions, so let us do it peacefully. Finally, thank you for giving this wonderful people the opportunity to show their generous and kind personalities. -- []s, Fernando -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
