I'm aware this has come up before, but I'd appriciate opening up the dicussions again.
Discussion is always welcome. :)
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
Maybe I am missing the obvious here...I don't see why that would throw an error. The LiveCD uses /lfs-sources for the sources dir, is that the problem? It is normally a good idea for the user to copy the sources to /mnt/lfs/sources or whereever he wants them, because in chroot the symlink won't work anymore...I believe.
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 thought the book said to build in $LFS/sources but I could be wrong. Will need to double check, but maybe the book itself needs to be tweaked a bit.
The /usr/local/src doesn't matter to me. As long as the user can find them. We will see what the rest of the LiveCD devs think.
