So, does anyone use hal ?
Speaking of autofs, I just noticed that the source has finally been replaced at kernel.org. There is a new point version, but it seems to require ldap - at least I couldn't get it to build. I was thinking about just removing it from the book. Does anyone use autofs? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
