I am familiar with Linux but not an expert. I find that the book LFS-7.5 is very interesting and I have started the work in Mint 17. I have verified that the software versions are all right. Subsequently, I entered
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- cat > ~/.bash_profile << "EOF" exec env -i HOME=$HOME TERM=$TERM PS1='\u:\w\$ ' /bin/bash EOF ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After logging out and logging in as user 'lfs' I got this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- lfs@linuxpert-HP-EliteBook-6930p ~ $ source ~/.bash_profile dircolors: no SHELL environment variable, and no shell type option given ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Google search reveals that there could be some problems with Debian derivatives. Kindly advice whether I should change to Fedora or others. Thanks in advance, VSN
