LFS 6.8 on an Ubuntu 10.04 host
When I run the check for coreutils, the following test fails - all
others pass or are not run.
FAIL: cp/sparse-fiemap
Is this something I need to worry about?
Many thanks,

Probably not. I'm not sure why you get
tidied up the formatting so that things line up.
Does this happen with any other PDF readers, or is it just evince?

It's no biggie - it's easy enough to work round - I just thought I

I don't think it's right. I've run into the issue before and found that
running the tests a second time don't seem to give the same results
minutes and produced not one single error, not even the
'expected' posix/annexc error.

*and* 6 you must untar the file and
then cd into the package directory before executing any of the commands
in that chapter. Then, when completely finished with the chapter, cd
back into the sources directory and - unless told otherwise - delete the
package directory.
HTH,

Stupid question time.
What font would be appropriate for a British set up? I cannot make head
nor tail of the options available.
At least the keymap is nice and easy to work out :-)

. Clearly, in the chmod
LFS system, whatever does this in Ubuntu is missing at this point.
So, what do I do? Can I manually create /dev/pts/pty* nodes? Or do I
create BSD style /dev/pty* dev/tty* pairs? Or what? I am at a total
loss here.

Mostly yes. The overall method of doing it in chapter 6 is similar to chapter
