You can feel free to include include any of the things that are needed by BLFS for Xorg. They're not released as part of the "katamari" because they're not seen as important to a modern windowing system, but that doesn't mean they might not be important or needed for other reasons. For instance, xinit isn't included since a modern system will use a display manager, but every distro installs it. For that matter, I don't think xdm or twm are part of the katamari, but they're still under development. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
