This is the reason I'm against it. Chapter 6 until Vim is installed you only have some pagers, more and less, to view log files or whatever else. Chris, you probably haven't built LFS without scripting for a *long* time, but think back to your first build. Did you occasionally find the need to page through log files or whatever? I know I did. Wouldn't not having some way to view files until Vim is built be just a tad difficult for first-time builders? -- 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] 14:54:00 up 100 days, 18 min, 3 users, load average: 0.19, 0.06, 0.10 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
