Heh, no I'd shoot myself if subjected to it for too long. Just meeting the most minimal requirements for a Java rebuild, and for that, a decent WM was not high priority....but will be in about 10 minutes. That's still 190 packages in (-LFS packages included but not individual xorg packages)...probably just over the halfway point. Now I have heard that somebody is actually taking the time to modernize twm, but the only evidence I've seen of it is that it still builds against Xorg-7.7. Years ago I had seen some pretty elaborate twmrc setups, but I've never taken the time. -- DJ Lucas -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
