Indeed. And in my opinion, this is the right thing to do. Saying that they were required would be a technical inaccuracy, something our book simply must avoid at all costs. There is nothing worse in what we do with BLFS, than if we provide inaccurate technical information. So, we make a package recommended. This satisfies the technical accuracy of our book, yet makes it very clear that we expect the package to be installed. -- 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] 19:08:00 up 121 days, 4:32, 3 users, load average: 1.08, 0.83, 0.47 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
