 The explanatory text for the cross-lfs is still coming. We still have a
 lot of work to do in that area. At the moment, we're just focusing on
 getting the commands straight, however, point taken.


 No worries.  I'm attempting a slightly different multilib build (i686
LFS-6.1 to build x86_64 kernel, then boot that and hopefully build the
rest much as the 6.1 book will) and I'm still tweaking the options in
the first part (64-bit binutils and c compiler) so that I don't include
[i] too many [/i] bogosities in my instructions.

Ken that's one of the things we are going to do after we get the builds 
working is go through every page and add more text or less text to give 
the reader a better understanding. We would welcome your input on this.

 I'll be happy to contribute, but I've got to understand how the new
stuff fits together first.
