This is a complete eye-opener for me. Meaning I didn't have a clue what the packages/programs did, and you explained it perfectly. It makes good sense why they've been developed. Joe, do you ever look at the BLFS book? I realize you do much work over at CBLFS, and we are way behind y'all as far as package versions go. But I'm wondering if you ever browse the actual BLFS book? -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.26] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 23:29:00 up 3 days, 23:43, 1 user, load average: 0.06, 0.06, 0.04 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
