This is what I do as well. I don't like 'sudo', and if I need to do something as root, then I just use 'su'. I don't think we should force people to have to have 'sudo' on their systems for this singular task. Can anyone recall why we don't build as root in the first place? As far as my memory serves me, it's to do with how the permissions are set during compiling. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
