Section 6.15.1 nitpick

[randy@…]

Noted:

"The test suite of Coreutils makes several assumptions about the presence of files and users that are not valid this early in the LFS build. Therefore, additional items need to be set up before running the tests. Skip down to “Install the package” if not running the test suite.

Create two dummy groups and a dummy user name:"

A few things here:

1. It says "the presence of files and users that are not valid". The

instructions don't say to create any new file, so is there really an issue with the presence, or non-presence of any particular file?

I suggest changing "files and users" to "users and groups"

2. It says "that are not valid this early in the LFS build" What

exactly isn't valid? The assumptions, or the files and users? To me, it sounds confusing.

Perhaps rewording the whole sentence as follows:

The test suite of Coreutils makes several invalid assumptions about the presence of system users and groups.

Intentionally left off is the text "this early in the LFS build." Does the point at which this testsuite is run really matter? If this testsuite was the last package installed, would there not be this need to create users and group?

3. "Create two dummy groups and a dummy user name:" We say to create

two dummy groups and a dummy user name. Would it not be better to drop "name" from the end of the sentence?
