linux from scratch

[Michael Havens]

well..... I just  realized that there must be a reason that the glibc line
was commented out in the LFS book so I'm not going to worry about it.
regarding your line I did enter it and it  returned nothing. then I re-read
the the text concerning that and it finally dawned on me..... I want all of
them or none of them and if I only had 1 or two of them it is okay to
delete the ones that are there. I get there.... even if it does take me a
little longer. I wish this wasn't the case but at least I can blame the
head injury for the difficulties. I'll start working on it when I get home
from work tonight.
