That is the way I actually started by unpacking the first tarball in ch5
while in the sources(tarball) directory. Then for some reason I thought
that I was wrong deleted it all and created the build directory, go
there to unpack the tarball. Also now thinking back, the way you say is
the way I did it on LFS-6.2. Well, it all seems to be okay, but I think
that I will go with your way for the rest of the build. Thanks for the
reply.
