Its not hard. But I suggested it coz I think of it as missing functionality. Before installing a package I like to check what the maintainer has to say about the package. For example the pci-utils homepage states that the package also included a library for accessing the pci bus. Sometimes they have notes on their homepage for some additional configuration. Some packages have the documentation so that it is easier to figure out if I really need the command before installing. Searching for the package is not as convinient as clicking on a link:) -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
