This is exactly the reason (not so much for dependencies, but for overall ease of installation) that I suggested yesterday that we leave XFree86 in the book until after Xorg 7.0 has been in the book and the build instructions are known to be stable. It could very well be that many will switch back to XFree just to avoid the modular installation, and end up with the same result. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 10:56:00 up 22 days, 19:20, 3 users, load average: 0.04, 0.03, 0.09 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
