    Well, how do you expect to learn without making a few mistakes along the way. You think I got it right on the first try?
    You can learn without making mistakes. But, I don't expect building my LFS system to be mistake proof. I was merely castigating myself for not proof-reading my stuff before hitting the enter button. It is better to be public about one's short falls, than it is to appear perfect and be proven imperfect.

    No you can't. To learn without making mistakes is to be instructed by a master. There is no learning there, only following. To learn is to make mistakes.

    Well, I think that we are both probably right, we are just looking at the concept of learning from different angles.

    On a different note: the book says that you should add the $LFS (LFS=/mnt/lfs) to the .bash_profile. Do you just type it in the way I wrote it in between the parenthesis? Is there another way to write it? I know that the QT libraries need something added to the .bash_profile (or some such file) in order to work properly. Is it the same thing as the aforementioned $LFS? I would post this question to the lfs-support mailing list, but I don't really want to get a dozen reiterations of the same thing.

    Thanks, I will put that into my .bash_profile. You are a life-saver, Lovechild.

    Augh...don't be so down on yourself. I will try to keep in touch with Ralinx. Maybe he will come back after he has cooled down a bit. Here's to hoping.

    Don't hold your breath, he sounded like leaving LJR was the best thing that ever happened to him when I talked with him. He wants me to leave permanently too, and I think I might... God knows it'd be a better use of my time to practise coding and doing homework than reading here.
