Actually, while Dan is correct in his technical statements, the book (at least currently) doesn't say anything at the end of chapter 6 about tarring up and keeping /tools. The current wording in the book avoids the technical inaccuracies Dan was pointing out and instead leaves backing up of /tools "as an exercise for the reader" at the end of chapter 5.

Actually, on second thought, it might be a good idea to mention there at the end of Chapter 5 that if you're hoping to keep /tools around for other builds, back it up *now* because it will be rendered useless for that purpose in the course of chapter 6.

Re-opening... :)
