Glad it worked out. Another project run by a former LFSer called DIY Linux always adds the workarounds at the beginning. Maybe we should start doing the same. > Finished the make bootstrap, but novice still a little confused. > Below is the end of the make bootstrap output & I then your suggested > echo $? but I'm not sure if this is good or bad.

The first $? is 0, so the previous command (make -C ld ...) was successful. The other commands were just an example I posted to show how things work. If you call the command `false', it will always return 1. Vice versa with `true'. So, just the first `echo $?' is needed. Normally, output from `make' should be pretty clear whether there was an error or not. $? is just a sure way to check status. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
