I've probably overwritten my build logs with his working version, but in any event I'm in the process of installing my other new machine (copying data from the backup of /home at the moment) - quite a lot to do for a *binary* install of an old LFS, then sort out the optimum kernel config, make sure everything is working, put in a new kernel on a couple of other systems I've copied over, and then use it to build 7.1. So, no, I won't be looking at this. I suspect this is yet another instance of why using gnome in a prefix other than /usr,/usr/local, or with the sysconfdir not just /etc, is *hard*. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
