Whatever the other problems running old hardware you may have, you shouldn't copy-paste from pdf, you ought to use html (in a browser, of course). The point is that, when copying from pdf, spaces at the end of line may be added. This is usually harmless, but when there is a continuation character (a backslash), it makes a big difference: try MYVAR=something \ env | grep MYVAR compared to: MYVAR=something \<space> env | grep MYVAR Pierre -- 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.
