My issue with the script isn't whether it's short or long - it's whether the reader understands that they need to read the script output, and check it against the list of requirements. As such, I'm not particularly in favour of making the script smart enough to do that checking for the reader. The reader *must* understand that doing an LFS build involves some thinking - that it's not just a bunch of stuff to copy-paste without understanding what they're doing. Simon.
