And that is why I think we should keep XFree in the book. Surely, we're not going to keep two *different* versions of the same software in the book (different being code base, not name). Especially knowing that 6.9 will be phased out. The link you pointed to said the next *major* release is ... And only *minor* maintenance updates are planned for the 6.9 branch. This means the code base is going to separate. So it only makes sense to me to drop the unmaintained (no more development) branch of Xorg, and continue to host Xfree in the book, as it is now a different product (that affords the same thing, essentially). This gives users a choice, especially a choice of being able to choose between a modular and non-modular installation. Just my thoughts, anyway. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.27] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 12:14:00 up 2 days, 4:14, 3 users, load average: 0.25, 0.13, 0.08 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
