A few things. 1. I am, as of right now, full time for LFS/BLFS. It's what I like to do. However, I don't want to be the only contributer. Many, or at least several pairs of eyes are better than just mine. 2. I want to create BLFS for LFS-7.0. At a minimum, the bootscripts need to be updated, although most of the existing ones should work with the (still included) bootscript functions. 3. I don't mind splitting up BLFS into a couple of books. Right now, I'm leaning towards Volume I (no required X prereqs) and Volume II (needs X). I also don't mind removing those packages that we think we don't want to maintain. 4. I have a fresh LFS-7 build on x86_64 and one on my P4 laptop. I was going to validate on both. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
