Now they say: (section 5.36) Note The commands in the remainder of this book must be performed while logged in as user root and no longer as user lfs. The problem is that I do not know how they want me to become root (or if it matters). To become root I can either 'su' or 'exit' my current shell to the previous one. So what do you recommend? Does it matter? :-)~MIKE~(-:
