Yes, this would be a nice option. When given a choice, take both. :) How about a switch/configuration option that would specify: CHOICE=default or CHOICE=prompt This could also be overridden by additional variables: MTA=postfix|sendmail|exim X=xorg|xfree86 KERBEROS=heimdal|krb5 other options could be QT=/opt|/usr KDE=/opt|/usr I'd also consider a variable OPTIONAL=packageA,packageB,... That would add in optional dependencies as desired by the user. These are the main alternative packages/options that I can remember off the top of my head. I'd have to go through the book to get a comprehensive list, but we are just talking concepts right now. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
