Perhaps we expect the readers to use the BLFS stated definition of "recommended", and not try to interpret it themselves. And, Chris, if you are installing a CPU in a motherboard, and the documentation recommends that you use some heat-transfer jelly on the CPU where it contacts the heat sink/fan assembly, would you not consider that as deviating if you didn't do it? Would you even *consider* not doing it? Please, Chris, be reasonable here. As Bruce just said, the advice given in the book is from *experienced* users. Not following that advice simply means someone is willing to suffer the consequences of that action. -- 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] 19:33:00 up 121 days, 4:57, 3 users, load average: 0.09, 0.19, 0.45 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
