I've done LFS a couple of times, it's definately a great way to learn about software compiling and the way a typical Linux install works. For any of us that want to force set directories at compile time, the "--bindir=/usr/sbin" and "--libexecdir=/path" are great options. LFS uses these and others. For locating "what is put where" during the "make install", I would suggest the "checkinstall" program or a can provide a shell script that does roughly the same thing. For more info on LFS, check: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/view/3.1/ -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
