If this (different page for config) confuses a user, then they have no business doing *LFS. I would not like to see if Xorg else XFree on an explicit Xorg or XFree page. That rules out an include. I would not like to see different pages as that would lead to potential inconsistencies between the pages. OTOH, we could drop XFree (which I wouldn't mind) and eliminate most of the problem. I don't know if Xorg is going to continue to maintain 6.9, but that could be dropped too. But then the config would probably be on a different page because the building is on multiple pages... :) -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
