Why would this still be a warning? If the drivers have been commented out (they have), what is there to warn about. Please, Dan, consider what is *in* the book, not what *used* to be in the book. It's my feeling that we don't place warnings in the book for things that are not there any longer in the theory that folks won't change their scripts unless they see a big warning box. Though it could be thought that someone needs to *uncomment* the drivers from the wget list if they are building on Sparc, I'd bet that the BLFS instructions wouldn't work for Sparc anyway, so I think the warning could be changed to a note or just a simple paragraph. Bottom line is that I feel (and just my opinion) a warning should be placed to remind a user to *do* something or the build will fail, but in this case, simply following the book without any special attention to anything else creates a successful build. YMMV. I'd like to see other input on this subject. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
