Chaps,
I'm aware this has come up before, but I'd appriciate opening up the
dicussions again.
I would like to request that the location of the source packages for the
building of LFS be included in a different location than /sources
I'd like to recommend /usr/local/src - however this is just a suggestion.
the reason I request this, is because of support issues within LFS
if a user is following the book by creating /mnt/lfs/sources
then ln -s /mnt/lfs/source /sources - he of course gets an error
If a user interprets the book to mean build in /sources, then again it
won't work due to the read only file system.
I appreciate %150 that a.) the user should have read the book and the
notes on the liveCD and the book to understand this b.) not be foolish
enough to work it out thats /sources in on the cd.
In my opinion we should take a harder line with this approach to
building LFS, but - we can't so perhaps making it more base user
friendly is an option.
Feedback appriciated.
Matt
