This is also why, no matter how well somebody knows how to script,
we recommend a manual build until you have successfully booted LFS.
Of course, doing that would have not highlighted the problem in
quite the same way. But technically you deviated from the book even
in your earlier manual build if you did not use the backslash.
Thanks for the reply. The idea is to get rid of any dynamic
interference and distraction that can happen when typing and
copy/pasting lines and also to assure a possibility of successful
reproductions. Same with ch6 which I'm starting now. For me it did
not made much sense to repeat manually, prone to errors. I do not see
it as a efficient way towards both learning and assuring a repeatable
reproduction.
After using LFS as a teaching tool in a classroom setting for many
years, I can say that new students learn a lot from building LFS
manually. If nothing else, it makes them try to debug their errors.
For a very experienced user, scripts may be helpful, but as your posts
indicate, they do not guarantee that mistakes will not happen.
And please, stop top-posting in your replies.
This is interesting. I'm using syplpheed/claws-mail since about 15
years and I never top post in mailing lists. Here for instance your
line is clearly quote above this portion of the reply. And at the top
is the last paragraph of yours, all 5 lines, preceded by the standard
"On Fri, 18 Jan 2019 02:26:24 +0000 Ken Moffat ...". If needed I can
put screen shots in a dropbox account.
This said, there's one thing that the email client does in this mailing
list here, is that it initially shows the quoted text as "[...]"
which can be clicked to reveal the actual text. That's not done with
any other mailing that I subscribe to or have subscribed over the
years. It's one my list to check it out, why this happens.
That is NOT done by the Mailman software that we use.

Do not top post on this list.
