The bootscripts are uploaded in ascii, ready to run and a script copies all the bootscripts into a tarball. I do not propose to change that. The purpose of putting the scripts in the book was educational/convenience but not meant as a means for installing the scripts. What I did in the xml was fairly simple. I just copied the scripts from the subversion checkout and ran a sed to convert things like & to &. Example: sed -e '/\&/\&\;/ ../bootscripts/lfs/init.d/halt > appendices/halt.script In the XML: <!ENTITY halt SYSTEM "halt.script"> ... <sect1 id="haltscript" role="wrap"> <title>/etc/rc.d/init.d/halt</title> <screen>&halt;</screen> </sect1> and later in the Makefile after the scripts are incorporated rm appendices/*.script -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
