This is not about whether a user is competent enough to change symlinks, it is about whether the user needs to update the symlinks on the host. With the change you changed the minimum host system requirements to something more the absolute minimum. The change implies that if /bin/sh is a link to /bin/dash or if /usr/bin/awk is a symlink to /usr/bin/mawk then LFS cannot be bootstrapped which is simply not true. -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
