The md5sum file and the wget-list file are both in the same place where you got the book pdf file. Here...

bogaardesquat,
I don't mean to pile on here, but IMO nothing is wrong according to what you wrote in post #5.
First, you are not in the chroot environment yet (stop saying that you are). Logging in to the terminal as the lfs user is
not the chroot environment. That comes much later on. For now, you will be working simply as the lfs user in your host system. At this point you are compiling in your host system's environment as the lfs user. The things you compile at this time will be written to the /mnt/lfs/tools directory. You will be building merely the temporary system to be used later to build the actual LFS system.
Then you will enter the chroot environment and begin the process of distancing yourself from the host system and building the final system.
Next, when you log in to your terminal as the lfs user and run ls, you are not supposed to see /sources and /tools. Those are not in the /home directory of the lfs user. Those are in /mnt/lfs. That is why you
can see them when you change directories to /mnt/lfs. The $LFS environment variable insures that those directories are properly accessed and written to during the book's steps. That is why the book repeatedly asks us to confirm the $LFS environment variable.
So when you arrive at 5.4.1, as the lfs user untar the binutils tarball, change directories down into /binutils-2.22 that was created by the untarring, and continue on with the book's steps exactly as written and without doing anything not stated by the book.

No, you're not an idiot. But here is what you are doing wrong (important)... You are thinking too much, and that is making you not follow the steps in the book faithfully (by that I mean trust it, it's right).
