Exactly my thoughts. Bumping the versions with no particular reason (unless of course a security reason involved) doesn't sound good to me. Also Dan i think it's good idea for every module to has its own page and with the right order. A single page is getting unreadable and in my humble opinion might be confusing. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
