Sounds like a lot of hassle. I already have the two patches. Let's just pick one and run with it. The large patch is 1.5 mb, the tarball is 5 mb. The patch only modifies two files: configure and the .m4 file. But you are right, your method would reduce the size, but do we really care? Of course, I've been using broadband since I can't remember. Can it be there are still dial-up users? Probably in countries other than America and most of Europe, but how many dial up folks build LFS? I know Alexander used to complain about the cost of downloading in Russia. I wonder if that is still an issue? -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [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] 09:47:00 up 14 days, 16:41, 1 user, load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
