Yes, it's the hard links problem (if your $LFS and $LFS/usr are on different partitions, a mv will fail). A note would be good yes. Even better, use the same instructions we use in chapter 6. May as well make them uniform. I remember this has been said on this list before and somehow it never made Bugzilla. Perhaps I overruled it, but I can't remember why. So, it's in bugzilla with a note for me to find out why it was overruled a while ago." defect closed highest Book CVS normal fixed
