Wow. I see 120mb of cleanup after running my cleaning process on /tools. But then, I do a bit more cleanup than the book says. To me, the book only does a partial clean-up, if you want to do it right, then the removed files are significantly more. I've posted about this before and it went uncommented. I'll post my cleanup script again which achieve these results: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~/build/Logs/LFS_Tools/Post-Installation > ls -l total 980 -r--r----- 1 rml install 36 Mar 21 14:22 du_after_condense.log -r--r----- 1 rml install 36 Mar 21 14:09 du_before_condense.log -r--r----- 1 rml install 1711 Mar 21 14:23 installed-list.log -r--r----- 1 rml install 2332 Mar 21 14:10 strip_binfiles.log -r--r----- 1 rml install 112306 Mar 21 14:15 strip_libfiles.log -r--r----- 1 rml install 793237 Mar 21 14:24 tools-filelist.log -r--r----- 1 rml install 62445 Mar 21 14:16 tools_cleanup.log [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~/build/Logs/LFS_Tools/Post-Installation > cat du_be*.log 486400 /mnt/rmlscsinew 486400 total [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~/build/Logs/LFS_Tools/Post-Installation > cat du_af*.log 366496 /mnt/rmlscsinew 366496 total Here is the cleanup steps I use: #Cleanup /tools install -v -m755 -d Installed/Post-Installation du -scxk --exclude='lost+found' $LFS >Installed/Post-Installation/du_before_condense.log 2>&1 cat Installed/Post-Installation/du_before_strip_start.log /usr/bin/find /tools/{{,s,i686-pc-linux-gnu/}bin,libexec} \ -type f \ -exec /usr/bin/strip --strip-all {} \; \ >Installed/Post-Installation/strip_binfiles.log 2>&1 cat Installed/Post-Installation/strip_binfiles.log | grep -v "File format not recognized" /usr/bin/find /tools/lib \ -type f \ -exec /usr/bin/strip --strip-debug {} \; \ >Installed/Post-Installation/strip_libfiles.log 2>&1 cat Installed/Post-Installation/strip_libfiles.log | grep -v "File format not recognized" rm -v -rf /tools/{info,man,share/{doc,man}} >Installed/Post-Installation/tools_cleanup.log 2>&1 rmdir -v /tools/var >>Installed/Post-Installation/tools_cleanup.log 2>&1 vi Installed/Post-Installation/tools_cleanup.log du -scxk --exclude='lost+found' $LFS >Installed/Post-Installation/du_after_condense.log 2>&1 cat Installed/Post-Installation/du_*_condense.log -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 19:27:00 up 18 days, 7:04, 2 users, load average: 0.03, 0.16, 0.08 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
