Yuck.... Perhaps I'm too hard on the package user system. There does seem to be a lot of questions to the various support groups because of it though. Maybe I should give it a try? Let's see... 400 or so more users in /etc/passwd 300 or so more lines in /etc/ld.so.conf 300 or so more lines in /etc/man.conf When I issue 'echo $PATH' it scrolls forever /etc/profile is now 800 lines long because of $PKG_CONFIG_PATH Nah, on second thought, I'll just continue on using a script based package-control system that does the same thing without 8 zillion users and directories on the system. :-) -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 22:44:00 up 141 days, 22:17, 3 users, load average: 0.01, 0.05, 0.18 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
