Yes, in my region, close to the sea, winter means frequent rains (it's raining, now), lower temperatures (about 73 F, now) and high humidity (close to saturation, now: 94%). > For xorg, I suppose it is possible that the only normal changes > across version upgrades are the tarball size, md5sum, space, and > SBU.

I did not reply with all care needed to some of the points (many things being done for the replies and many points discussed). Although I could successfully get a "real" machine running LFS7.1"svn", it is not as I want. 1. Kernel: could not build a minimalist kernel for it yet. I am using config copied from another distro, with huge kernel and number of modules. 2. The base of what I do, VMware-Player failed to install. When i have time and patience, I will ask for help in support for LFS. So, I think you are right: I am not that comfortable yet. -- []s, Fernando -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
