Randy, I don't know if this is a good idea yet. This will cause problems with HAL because it doesn't use libpci. It just opens up pci.ids and will have totally ignore pci.ids.gz. On the other hand, update-pciids will always gzip the data if you built against zlib. So, in the best case, you have an old pci.ids hanging around that HAL is going to use. In the worst case, you only have pci.ids.gz and HAL will bomb. This was discussed about a month ago in the way off topic CBLFS thread. I noted that you can work around this by passing ZLIB=no to make. http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-dev/2007-January/016078.html What do you think? FWIW, they are talking about the gzipped pci.ids data on the HAL list, but nothing's happened yet. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
