OK , I downloaded it. Deleted all my old lfs files , made a new file
system , set it up EXACTLY as in this new book. Sad to see over three
weeks work down the drain. I reinstalled zipslack, so I would not get
any bad files.
	The very first compile(static bash) does not work:

So I switched to redhat , and tried to compile it from there(I deleted
the /mnt/lfs/usr/src/bash-2.05 folder and re-untarred  it, re
configured it to be safe.)

	I grepped through the 100Mb of text. There was no help there.
