not sure

I am writing to report a little error in your book "Building Embedded
Linux Systems 2nd edition" in page 176:



"perhaps adding a -r for recursive output"



change -r in -R



"perhaps adding a -R for recursive output"



Best regards,

Marco Santoni

Note from the Author or Editor:
Marco is of course correct. It is indeed a typo and the '-r' should be '-R' for recursive output.

Many thanks Marco for spotting this one.
