Not always faster either as we have seen on our own lists, though the fix I thought would fix it, didn't. Unknown if 1.8.2 is any better than 1.9.0. When 7.6 is official, 1.9.x will be put into the book, shouldn't be too much longer now, but I wanted something relatively current for interim testing for Gnome (+ your bug for networking) and KDE 4 (and possibly Trinity). -- DJ Lucas -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
