I agree. Are your links correct as specified in host system requirements? See http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter05/generalinstructions.html http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/prologue/hostreqs.html If these links are wrong, the best thing to do is start over. The first note in the general instructions has been rewritten, but the host requirements section is not new. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
