869	relative->absolute symbolic links	ibbis@…	lfs-book@…	"I'd prefer to see all symbolic linkings in LFS 5.1.1 to be absolute instead of
relative (it would be more intuitive, thus easier to understand for beginners).
So here is the summary of all changes I made for my own installation:

chapter 6: gcc-3.3.3
   ln -s /usr/bin/cpp /lib
chapter 6: coreutils-5.2.1
   ln -s /bin/install /usr/bin
chapter 6: zlib-1.2.1
   ln -sf /lib/libz.so.1 /usr/lib/libz.so
chapter 6: ncurses-5.4
   ln -sf /lib/libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib/libncurses.so
chapter 6: bzip2-1.0.2
   ln -s /lib/libbz2.so.1.0 /usr/lib/libbz2.so
chapter 6: shadow-4.0.4.1
   ln -sf /lib/libshadow.so.0 /usr/lib/libshadow.so
   ln -sf /lib/libmisc.so.0 /usr/lib/libmisc.so

But if there are good arguments to keep them relative, I would be pleased to get
informed.

Thanks,
