At the end of ch.6.9.2 after this passage: " ..Then create the /etc/localtime file by running: cp -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/<xxx> /etc/localtime Replace <xxx> with the name of the time zone selected (e.g., Canada/Eastern). " add something like: "If you don't plan to have a separate /usr partition, you can create a symbolic link instead: ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/<xxx> /etc/localtime This would help your applications to track back original zone location information with readlink (e.g. "America/Los_Angeles”)." /alexey -- 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.
