Sounds good, but I'm doing other things at the moment. Change it if you like. 'De gustibus non est disputandum' as my old latin master would have said. What gets me is the phrase "The BLFS staff has determined", e.g. in mutt : I think 'staff' should have a plural form of the verb[¹], but I would feel a lot more comfortable with "the BLFS editors have determined". As with many things in the books, perhaps it's only me who gets upset. ¹ - a verb in the singular would be appropriate for a wizard's staff made of sapient pearwood. Let the anglo-american grammar skirmishes recommence ;) ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
