Re: [lfs-support] Support or Video links to follow along with LFS book
Hi William, Thanks for that interesting reply and suggestion. I am not quite up to the level of script replay as it is rather beyond my capabilities at this point. I did read up on script replay at the link below. http://www.linuxinsight.com/replaying-terminal-sessions-with-scriptreplay.html BTW, I did read the LFS FAQ and turned off HTML. I am not sure what you are receiving on your end but HTML is turned off in this google gmail (at least in this particular email instance). Please let me know (anyone) if the HTML link (above) is delivered in good form as requested by the LFS FAQ titled, What about netiquette?. I do need to re-read the above link again before script replay begins to sink in. I just wanted to let you know that I do read your emails and absolutely appreciate all suggestions.
