The book itself quite clearly explains what the patch does. If you *really* want to "learn" then start by, for example, reading the patch itself to see how exactly it works. However, since you still felt to need to ask, for example, if Binutils/GCC Pass 2 was necessary, despite the fact that the build process is thoroughly explained, it appears you aren't really making much of an effort to read the information that's already there. If you really do want to "learn" start off by - as I've said to you at least twice before - actually reading all the text in the book. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
