You are indeed correct. But I would bet that 90% (probably higher) of the readers wouldn't even look in DESTDIR, instead just blindly copying and pasting the commands and going on their merry way building a system. > Again, please don't take the above as me pushing to get this in to LFS. I haven't and wouldn't. I understand the nature of 'discussion'. As long as things don't get personal, a discussion is just folks expressing opinion and the foundations behind that opinion. Though I have a short memory, I haven't seen things get personal on an LFS list in a long time. > I'm just stating my personal views as to its usefulness.
