I don't have any problems with what you are saying. I don't agree that it is changing the organization of the book. It is all a part of xorg7 and keeping that together makes sense. When doing something like this, don't be afraid of doing something different. If it's a problem others will let you know -- some more stridently than others -- but looking at things in a new way is good. We can always fix things that are not optimal. BTW, you seem to always pick the hard things: Java, OO, Xorg7. I appreciate what you do. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
