You mean timezone, not locale. However, this is because the LFS book doesn't cope with hosts that use the TZ environment variable instead of the /etc/localtime file, because it uses "env -i" and thus cleans the TZ variable. LiveCD can switch to the /etc/localtime file only "TZ=EDT-4" boot command line syntax is dropped. One more thing is that even if we fix this, packages compiled between Chapter5 Glibc and Chapter6 Glibc will suffer from the issue anyway - Chapter5 glibc (I suppose, but I may be wrong) uses /tools/etc/localtime that doesn't exist. File creation times are kept in UTC, so the different timezone is a non-issue.

And the shell in the Xfce terminal is deliberately made a non-login shell, in order for you to be able to start a new Terminal with the new environment, completely unrelated to the bash profile.

I suppose that this can be fixed by copying /root (instead of /lfs-livecd/root) to /etc/skel at the end of the build, but I will fix it only when I recover from my illness. > 4) the irc server for irc.linuxfromscratch.org settings are not > transferred over either. > See above. > 5) the menu logout button does not trigger the logout function, only the > panel logout does. > Unreproducible at least for root in the "kvm" virtual machine.
