Yes, I suppose that you can also build LFS by hand every time too. The whole point is, could we make it *easier*? E.g., in your case, wouldn't it be nicer to: * install alfsd in machines 2-6. * run the client: login to machines 2-6. * say/select: build LFS * let it work. * restore your machine7 to prove backups work. what do you think? What if you also had this convenience when updating? (at least for me convenience counts, that 's how I find the time to post to such interesting mailing lists as this one.) > Have fun inventing wheels. Funny you say that. I was looking at 2005's greatest inventions and the *number one* was - oh the surprise - a wheel! Not kidding, check this link: http://www.popsci.com/popsci/bown2005/autotech/df39010188327010vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd.html So, you see although it is true that we have concluded that the best shape for a wheel is round, humanity never stopped (re)inventing better wheels. Even in 2005, inventing a wheel can lead you to the best invention price of the year. So, please don 't mind us inventing our wheels, unless of course you know a *technical* showstopper for this project, in which case now it would be the right time to state it. Thanks :) Pantelis ____________________________________________________________________ http://www.freemail.gr - äùñåÜí õðçñåóßá çëåêôñïíéêïý ôá÷õäñïìåßïõ. http://www.freemail.gr - free email service for the Greek-speaking. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
