I'm not sure I understand your point other than to call my opinion "petty". To me, how many tarballs a package has is irrelevant to our doing things differently (scripting) for the installation. There is no precedent being set by BLFS because a package has 200 tarballs. My point was that I would like to continue to research ways and not be married to scripting this thing. Creating a script to auto-install Xorg *is* setting a precedent. Now, whether or not one considers it "petty" to worry about it, is left up to each individual. -- 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] 11:50:00 up 119 days, 21:14, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.11 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
