Most of these are scripts instead of binaries." I am not familliar with the "not an ordinary file" and "permission denied" error messages, however. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Wouldn't the binaries in /bin be used if the shell did not have builtins?

If you forget to use the CFLAGS="-g -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer" with make install you may possibly have something not built with those optimisations, or at least my observation is that make install on gcc seems to compile some more stuff.

Scenario where not having strong passwords can be a problem involving only the default LFS tools: you finish building LFS on your computer, and decide to celebrate by going out to eat, a thief breaks into your house and steals your computer. -- LFS ID #12355 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page

wiki.linuxfromscratch.org time out problems
I have been following the recent discussion on the lfs-dev list about trac and I have only one issue. I cannot connect to wiki.linuxfromscratch.org:80 from my home, at college I can connect, my college is about 30 miles from home, I keep getting "The connection has timed out" messages. This happens in both IE6, wget 1.10.2 binary for Windows, and Firefox-1.5, and has been occuring since I tried to access the first test setup of the wiki at wiki.linuxfromscratch.org, within a few days of the link being placed on the mailing list. This is not a problem of getting packets to wiki.linuxfromscratch.org. I can ping it successfully with average times under 50ms.
