Very subtle difference, but this is probably belongs to lfs-dev instead, since it is not a support question, but merely an announcement. Btw, maybe is a good idea to store all those projects, which automate the building of the book. Searching into github reveals plenty of results, see: https://github.com/topics/linux-from-scratch Speaking for advertisement, it is also an advertisement for the entire project, as it shows that (actively) people use the sources to build a system and with various ways. It is also that some of those projects, could happen to have a potential for further development, since is that such flexible and easy buildable modern systems, that can be adapted to specific environments and requirements is always a quest for embedded developers. At the very least, the code can be used as a starting point for others to develop their own solution (i send the link to my own son for example that studies a bit of python ( though he is doing mostly C/C++/java in his first year), so extra thanks for this). So as more ways exist and are known so to the better. As why people, like Joao who wrote this code (congrats btw) they get in trouble to do this kind of automatization, and which might make some to wonder why all this, it is probably because it is first, an amazing way to spend your time and practice the mind at the same time, because such an effort requires concenration to little details. Those details and the purpose that is to have a self made functional system, it makes you understand finally the underlying system from an administration perspective and a precious knowledgement at the end. Plus there is so fun and a mysterious satisfaction, to just execute a single command, and after a couple of hours to have a ready to use functional system tailored to you. Btw, does anyone know any LFS-BOOK parser (from the xml sources) in C? > Pierre ag, p.s., Nevermind for the mlist stuff, as i see now that Joao posted this to lfs-support. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
