That is what I am waiting on. I want to finalize on what LFS 7.4 and then I need to build a server and some KDE desktops. That way I can "freeze" my rpm systems on LFS-7.4 and then I can have a go at BLFS. I am using the last nite SVN version of LFS calling that 7.4.rc2, that way when 7.4 finally comes out I am not too far off the mark. With all the upstream packages coming out at a non sensical pace I ignore that ( mostly because all the newer versions don't really change much I only see that as version number bumping ) and just find something that works. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
