No, I get the idea of enabling UTF-8 by configuration. That's why this is so attractive. However, if there is an optional patch for coreutils in the appendix of the book, then I may or may not have identical binaries to what you do. There are actually two options following what Jim is saying: 1. Build with UTF-8 compatibility 2. Configure for UTF-8 compatibility. I'm saying, get rid of option 1. Always build with UTF-8 compatibility. Build Remove the appendix and leave the patches, new packages, etc. in the book on their normal pages. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
