I'd quite like to, but I really don't have sufficient time to make a difference. Sometimes, like today, I have a few minutes, while the glue is setting, to come and see what's happening, and maybe chuck in a few rude comments - but I don't have the time that I'd need to do anything that requires study and testing. The other problem is that I don't have an LFS system at all any more. I've moved to Ubuntu for my operational desktop, and CLFS for the gateway (and I don't play with that as it runs the local DNS, mail-server and website). I could fix this with a dual boot, but then everything takes twice as long to do... The third problem is that LFS is almost dead (although BLFS is still alive and kicking - It's great to see how much effort you guys are putting in, and it's appreciated, I assure you.) and despite Gerard having finally built the replacement server, he isn't contributing, and there doesn't appear to be much going on. Maybe LFS 6.2 is perfect. CLFS is alive, and regularly moves things forward, but I am supremely uninterested in multilib, 64bit, and other processors that I don't have and can't afford. So forgive me, I shall probably not take up your invitation. But I am still cheering from the stands. :-) R. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
