Why don't you just add this to the wiki.

Again, this would be fodder for the wiki. These techniques are the ones used to keep from distributing auto.home to every client. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
