In the second "Important" box in section 5.3, item 3 says that I should use tar to extract the packages in /mnt/lfs/sources. Am I reading this right? There are 27 .tar.gz files, 11 .tar.bz2 files and 32 tar.xz packages. Extracting each one from the command line seems error prone. I am thinking about creating a script that would extract each package. Is this a good approach?
If you mean that it's difficult to type correctly the packages' names, use bash completion. Go to /mnt/lfs/sources directory and type for example tar -xf gc and press the tab key. It will print the file names in the current directory that start with gc, or if there is only one it will complete the command line. -- Thanos -- 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.
