GDM is core GNOME package. Power management is important for laptops which I own. Also, do administrative tasks work (ie, those requiring polkit authentication and such)? As for the "Why did I remove it", it was mostly because I was unable to make it work fine with "standard" setup, since I am systemd user and I didn't want to build another system for testing the setup I am not interested in maintaining. I don't think anyone else wanted to step in (I think I asked that) so I just went ahead and removed it. Of course, there was a plan for systemd book, but I didn't just had the time for it. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
