Description
Hi
I just found following 'bug' - well it's just an information missing.
When you first chroot into your lfs system (chapter 6) the chroot command doesn't pass the +h option to the bash. Its passed later when "Creating the passwd and group files"
BUT it is not mentioned that you should add it, when you stop the installation process and boot later again to continue. (It is mentioned that you shall mount proc and devpts should you ever reboot though.)
I just ran over this, because I rebooted just before installing the bash (a lot later in chapter 6) and after installing you immediately run it with the exec command AND pass the +h option -> it is still important!
I am a newbie but I think it might be best if you directly when chrooting into the lfs-directory you pass the +h option. (Addidionally many people might use the cursor-up-key to repeat that command without typing it again, so it is never missed)
Greetings Peter
Thanks for the report, but this is already fixed in the current development version of the book and will be in the next release. Closing.
