I do not yet feel confident enough to replace my host by LFS. Did it in another 
machime (LFS6.7), but it was a PITA, regarding NVidea, Broadcom and VMware, 
worse yet when upgrading the kernel, NV and VM had to be taken into account and 
reconfigured (this is not the best word, hope you understand) of course more a 
problem of these than LFS/BLFS. But I will try to learn jhalfs (remember?) in 
some days maybe weeks, make a partition in the host for LFS and then I will be 
able to help more.

My intention and goal is to eventually leave other distribuitions just to 
follow and see what is happening, and rely entirelly in LFS/BLFS even as host.

So, please, do not give up. People like me would have much more difficulty to 
achieve such a goal (see above) if packages so important as xsane/sane keep 
being dropped from the book.

Thanks, Bruce

Fernando
