Hi folks,
I've just built ntp (version 4.2.0a due to the gcc-4 fixes I need), and
installed the bootscript from blfs-bootscripts-2005-09-10. The ntp
bootscript takes anywhere between 17 seconds and 51 seconds to complete,
dependent on which servers I've configured in /etc/ntp.conf. This is

Hi guys,
I've finally gotten a USB flash-disk based Digital Audio Player. This
is the kind of thing that an automounter should really be able to
handle, so that things are handled in as much of a plug and play manner
as possible. With that in mind, and remembering that dbus and hal have

Thanks Randy, that's great! I'll now proceed with my usual care-free
method of repeatedly installing things until they work, rather than
painstakingly writing everything down :) I'll keep an eye out for any
Hi folks,
Looking at the current instructions for libxml2 (simply because 2.6.21
was released today), it omits the more extensive test suites that are
available from the W3C [0]. There's a test framework available in the
xstc/ subdirectory of the tarball, into which one can place

Oh, yeah, I see that now...I tried compiling libxml2 on a bare-bones LFS
system, hence didn't have `wget' installed yet! Is that worth
mentioning as a dependency (test-suite only, like `bc' is for openssl)?
Yes

Hi all,
I loathe using 'info' to read documentation. That said, as I build
packages that only include a .info file for the docs, I look to see
if there is a .texi source file. If so, I run the appropriate commands
to create pdf, ps, dvi, html and txt docs and install them.

As we recently discovered, Udev has changed. In udev-059 and
greater, dev.d/hotplug.d are no longer used by default, so
we'll need a location to place needed scripts. I have been using

You can check out Cairo at http://cairographics.org/introduction
Cairo at this point requires the libpixman library, so this package
should probably be added to BLFS as well.
I've been following the cairo mailing list for some time now, as it
appears to be being used

Slightly better would be this:
