If one wanted to create as inclusive a BLFS system as possible (starting with an LFS 6.0 system and installing basically everything in the BLFS 6.0 book that isn't completely redundant), has anyone actually worked out the order of installation? CJD You will find nobody installs everything, and no they haven't. Pieces of kit like Evolution and gnumeric require so many dependencies that they would come very late in the day. You only want 1 mail server, Xfree or Xorg, you hardly run dhcp, nfs, & ipx all together. You are either a server or a client in all cases. What's the point of filling some disk like that? By the time you do, it will all be out of date anyhow. Besides, conflicting versions are now required in some cases..2.4 or 2.6 kernels. Check the archives on glibc if you don't believe me. -- With best Regards, Declan Moriarty. That's why I said "everything...that isn't completely redundant".  I know that you only want one MTA, and you can only have either Xorg or Xfree86...but thanks for your help. CJD
