Nick Gawronski I don't think that anything really _needs_ to be added to the note. IMO it is clear enough and the instructions are rather self-explanatory. From own experience I can say that it pays to carefully read the instructions and to insist on trying to understand them. Man/info-pages often provide invaluable help here. And then there is always the golden rule for success in building an LFS/BLFS-system: FBBG (Follow Book, Book Good)! ;) Rainer p.s.: Your email client seems to have a problem with proper quoting. You may want to check that. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/sympa/info/lfs-support Unsubscribe: See the above information page
