thanks for the response. Just to clarify, for the make.fail, I would type in:make>>make.fail 2>&1 which tells it make and then to send (>) stderr (2) to stdout (1) and also to send stdout that way also (&1). finally all of that gets sent to a file named make.fail . Isn't '>>' actually 'append' whereas '>' would work just as well so long as the file didn't already exist? If the file did exist would I get an error or would the file be overwritten?

Please stop asking such elementary questions and do some work on your own. -- Randy -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
