Description

In Chapter 6 Binutils, it says to run expect -c "spawn ls", then describes an error message that might pop up. A number of users (at least in the #lfs-support chat room), when getting "spawn ls" after that command, have asked whether that's correct. I think the text on this page should be clearer - it should specify that "spawn ls" is in fact the desired output, and that anything else should be considered bad. I've attached a patch where I have altered the wording to match what I've put in CLFS.
