Hans, Thanks you for your feedback. There are a couple of things you touched on that you might want to consider.
1. Each page of the BLFS has a link to a wiki page. Users are free to add to them, so you can help the community there if you would like. 2. For automation, take a look at Automated LFS, particularly jhalfs. Start on the web page. 3. You comment about dependencies is valid. It is very difficult to determine what is needed, but it is virtually impossible for someone to come up with a way to specify the order of dependencies when we don't know what a user will want to install. LFS is better in this regard than BLFS, but the intent of LFS is to build everything there. In BLFS, the idea is to give users a choice so they don't have a bloated set of packages that they don't need. 4. Finally, remember that LFS and BLFS are not, strictly speaking, a distro but are books that intend to teach how to build a system. From there, you are free to customize as you wish. From your comments, it looks to me like we were successful in your case. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
