Hi :-) I prefer a second message for another problem.
On my debian host system, in files .bashrc, i use the following lines to be informed from errors in a command : if [ "$PS1" ]; then _prompt_command() { local status="$?"; if [ $status != 0 ]; then echo -n "$status " 1>&2; fi } PROMPT_COMMAND=_prompt_command fi So, the exit code is printed before the prompt in case of an error. I'd like to do so in chapter 6 of LFS but, as there is no .bashrc, I wonder where I could append this lines. Thanks for advice. -- Ph.
