mandrake networking and also lfs

[John Hanagan]

LFS: Did you chown lfs $LFS/sources before you su - lfs?
Also, your bash_profile didn't have those environment variables unset (LFS book pg 60)
Good luck.  I just last week went through LFS.  I found it both tedious and inciteful.  I plan to start BLFS when I can carve computer time away from the wife & kids.
