As in: 1. Do Ch.5 2. Do Ch.6, copy to different dir 3. Do Ch.6, diff with other dir Or: 1. Do Ch.5 2. Do Ch.6, copy to different dir 3. Do Ch.5 4. Do Ch.6, diff with other dir Hopefully the first way because the second way would produce exactly the same thing and doesn't prove anything about the purity of the build. It only shows the strength of Ch.5 in separating from the host. > > I'm gonna go track down some old posts on the purity tests.

However, slow hardware (PIII 500) + girlfriend not keen on building software = 2 day affair. But I'm very curious to do some purity tests myself just for the experience. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
