A valid point. However, seems giving folks the option to install the HTML versions of the BASH docs could only be a good thing. If there are other packages (which won't be very many in LFS) have additional docs, they could be considered as well. I just look at the Bash docs as a unique beast because of the significance and importance of them. Not to mention the size. Here are the changes required to the Chapter 6 instructions that would have to be made. 1. Mention downloading the docs tarball 2. Add an instruction to untar the tarball 3. Add a sed command. Then, just build as outlined in the book. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 13:55:00 up 119 days, 13:28, 2 users, load average: 0.09, 0.15, 0.19 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
