It will work if you are careful :) But I don't know how practical it would be. For the example that you mentioned, cpio is only a build-time dependency for JDK, so you can remove it after installing the JDK. But if you ever want to upgrade JDK, you will need to reinstall cpio. So unless you plan to rebuild the entire system for every package upgrade, removing build time dependencies is not very useful. -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
