Though I'm sure you don't intend to be insulting, somehow you manage it. :-) I use Transcode. I built it in the early stages of my last LFS-6.3 build. I had Linux-2.6.21.5 installed. I realize that the 6.3 book shows to use the 2.6.22 series kernels. If that meant the book is broken, then I'm at fault. Sorry. When did the breakage come about? I notice that Nicolas didn't mention what versions of stuff he was using, nor did Ken in his comments. It would be interesting to see what would happen in a stock LFS-6.3 build. Do you know for a fact that it is broken with the 2.6.22 series kernel? If so, why not update the book, instead of calling for some package's removal? If not, then please do a a bit of research. :-) I must apologize of my lack of BLFS activity. I've been busy with other things, including building (C)LFS multilib and other experiments. I just don't find building (B)LFS-6.3 on x86 very entertaining. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.22] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 10:48:00 up 60 days, 1:36, 1 user, load average: 0.32, 0.07, 0.02 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
