Here is the section I did not do. I did not realize that it was mandatory (I thought it was cosmetic ;)) ================== To remove the “I have no name!” prompt, start a new shell. Since a full Glibc was installed in Chapter 5 and the / etc/passwd and /etc/group files have been created, user name and group name resolution will now work: exec /tools/bin/bash --login +h =============================
Also, it seems that while I built perl in 5.x, I neglected the "copy" part at the end. Teaches me to rush this along...
