Normally, you would delete the build and source directories immediately. In this case, though, I want you to keep them until we're done testing because I might ask you to grep around in the source directory. You should still delete them when you proceed to the next package (assuming any problems have been sorted out). I just want to make sure you don't delete them right away and then have to start the build again. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
