To be honest, if you have no experience of compiling, I don't think you will be ready for LFS. > Besides when I copy multiline commands out of your pdf terminal interpretes > each single line on its one which of course doesn't work.

Most people don't use the PDF, and paste from the html version in their browser to a term. Of course, that does assume you are using a desktop environment which doesn't want to maximize an application to full-screen. I'm also not sure why you would decompress the packages - any adequate version of tar will cope with all the various forms of compression, provided the decompressors have been installed [ see posts from the last 24 hours for which versions of tar are adequate, in the archives if you weren't subscribed ]. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
