But just copy'n'paste is not enough by itself: per earlier note, you're
always doing copy'n'paste within a context; e.g if you are switching consoles
between one copy'n'paste and the next, then you are not "just cut-n-pasting"
(the book's instructions) - because you've also done the console switch
[and of course the consoles might be sitting in entirely different states
- e.g. the shells in the respective consoles might be in different dirs,
with different environment settings, etc.]; and if you change-dir between a
configure step and a 'make' step, then again you are not "just cut-n-pasting"
(the book's instructions) - because you have typed or otherwise added the
'cd ...' change-dir command.
