Gentlemen, I really did not want to stir up a major debate. I am sorry if my little problems have caused and issue. I have the greatest respect for LFS and I really do see it as a true open source project where people can learn while doing. I did run into some little issues and if I were a tad more careful with that version check script then I never would have hit this. Maybe the question on the table here should be "what are the bare minimal requirements from which you can begin work?" I think that make and bison and flex etc etc can all be built if the user has at least GCC and some sort of running system. Am I wrong to think this way ?
