I must be missing something here.
The instructions in blfs for xorg 7.2 says to run the script.
bash -e #exit on all errors
section=proto
version=7.2
mkdir $section
cd $section
# download and check packages
grep -v '^#' ../${section}-${version}.wget | wget -i- -c \
-B http://xorg.freedesktop.
Adrian,
What Pete said, however I must have missed the same section as did you.
Being a linux noob, I thought I was following the install doc verbatim.
It kind of expects you to understand more than some might.
I'm a 25 year computer geek and still struggled with it for the first
dozen packages
Thanks DJ,
Thats what I was looking for.

Hi,
I have noticed that some applications (e.g. Firefox) look for the file
/etc/mime.types to know what kind of application will be able to open
their downloads.
The package shared-mime-info provides an update-mime-database, but I
have not found an application that would generate the /etc/mime
I think the problem might be that you are using the incorrect working
directory. You are in /mnt/lfs when you should be in
/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-2.17
The lfs user doesn't have full permissions in /mnt/lfs because that
directory is owned by root. So the error message is caused by the fact

Hello all,
I am trying my hand at creating my own LFS installation but seem to have
stumbled across a problem. When I type in:
mkdir -v ../binutils-build
cd ../binutils-build
as directed by the manual I am told
mkdir: cannot create directory './binutils-build': Permission
