I tried testing that "LANG" bug by exporting "LANG=C" before rerunning the compressed tar, but it failed the same way. Perhaps it had to be defined when tar was made? I didn't think that's what was implied. But if I was going to have to rebuild tar, well, I decided to blow it all away and start over from scratch, using tar-1.28, which caused no problems with the LFS-7.7 host build. Did that and came back to my first script in Ch6 to make and tarball (compressed) the bare, clean FHS. No problems! I'm blaming tar-1.29. I stopped here for the time being, I've a doctor's appointment to go off to. I'll try the rest of CH6 this evening--should be good for a couple hours of grinding. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
