1) I don't think that is true. The manual contradicts itself. On the one hand it tells you to put stuff in $LFS/tools, but then it specifically recommends NOT putting things in there during the initial compilation process. It also tells people to create an LFS partition and suggests that it be used, but doesn't say how or when (at least as far as I've gotten). It also seems to contradict itself by telling people to uncompress the tar.bz2 files, but then proceeds as if they were not uncompressed, so clearly there are some contradictory logic errors in the manual.
2) Why are you here if you aren't going to be of any help? I'm not coming here with no experience with Linux. I've also noticed several problems with the manual, so clearly this is a work in progress. You, Tony, apparently can't even be bothered to get it right yourself the first time...sending me 4 unhelpful e-mails only to say you won't help. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tony Sauri <hoiho...@gmail.com> To: Scott Robertson <scottrobertso...@yahoo.com>; LFS Support List <lfs-support@linuxfromscratch.org> Cc: Sent: Thursday, May 3, 2012 1:31 AM Subject: Re: [lfs-support] Chapter 5 questions On Thu, 03 May 2012 17:23, Tony Sauri wrote: > The answers to all your questions (except the last) are contained in > paragraphs 2, 3 and 4.
