Indeed!
The last time I built an LFS system from scratch (bit tautological
that!), I'd found that there was extra stuff in, eg, /tools/share/doc.
My old notes, where I highlighted the differences between a vanilla LFS
install and the "My Distro, My Rules" one in an HTML copy I kept lying
around, led me to go looking to see what was where when doing the
latest build, whereupon I "discovered" the /tools/share/{info,man} stuff.
Thought I might as well feed such info back into the community.
Maybe a note in the book to the effect that
"There may be other, uneeded, documentation that the example instructions
here don't remove. Typically, Linux documentation tends to be installed below
directories called 'info' and 'man'".
would cover all the bases.
