I hope this doesn't happen. One reason I love BLFS is there's a ton of packages in the book. I like that if today I decided I was going to install OpenLDAP on my box, I could go to the BLFS page and find a set of known good build instructions. Anyone worth a lick is gonna go do research themselves, but at least you know that with the kind of system you've built, here's some instructions that will work. It doesn't need to be the most current version, it doesn't need to be totally comprehensive. Just a guideline to get you off the ground. Plus everything Randy said about dependencies, URLs, etc. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
