I think that you should. IMO, leave the redundant info in each of the packages in case people are jumping around. But, on the Pre-Installation page, I'd like to see all the variables that will eventually affect the GNOME desktop. The last time I built GNOME, I scanned through all the packages to make sure I wasn't missing any variables and then started building packages. I'd prefer if this info was all at the beginning. Next time, though, I'm just installing in /usr. These little path gotchas serously bug me, and I have a package manager anyway. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
