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:
[snip]
486400 /mnt/rmlscsinew 486400 total [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~/build/Logs/LFS_Tools/Post-Installation > cat du_af*.log 366496 /mnt/rmlscsinew 366496 total
This is all good stuff. But the question still is how crucial is this space to a by-the-book LFS build? Especially since /tools really should be moved out of the way or deleted after chapter 6, the main purpose of reducing the size of /tools at this time is so that the user can continue building through to the end of chapter 6 without having to worry about whether he has enough room on the disk.
If when using the earlier suggestions as to partition size there is still enough room to complete the build, the instructions to strip /tools then are merely academic.
On the other hand, it's not really a big issue, so if more people appreciate having those instructions in chapter 5, I'll gladly leave it and drop in updated figures for expected savings.
