[SOLVED] 5.35 Stripping package not found in the source directory of LFS

Hello,

So this is my second attempt on installing linux from scratch, following line to line instruction from Linux-from-Scratch-Version 8.3.

Please ignore this message. My bad I was following the book that I though Stripping is a package :P

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Glad you got it fixed. Just bumping this thread to remove from zero replies

They put that in for educational purposes. It's worth knowing that freshly built binaries contain a lot of debugging information which isn't required to simply run them and that this can be stripped out afterwards. On a PC, stripping is optional, but on an embedded system, it might be essential in order to fit all the software in.
