Linux file command identifies text-file as DOS executable (COM)

[Heino Backhaus]

Thanks Valentin,

i've allready upgraded to 5.25 and it works perfektly at the moment.
The Upgrade it self is, following the LFS-Documentation, easy.
You need to have a sane development-system installed.

Thanks for helping

cheers
