Maybe I'm just clueless, but can you explain specifically what it is you are proposing, and how this is any different from, say, building a standard LFS system and a few select packages from BLFS? I am fully aware (and, no doubt, so are all other LFS/BLFS editors and users) that not everyone needs or wants X. Those that don't can just use BLFS for alternative packages, or search the web. If you just want to have something like different customized BLFS books with select packages for the various system types you described above, you could easily just write up a hint, and/or take the existing BLFS svn source, modify it accordingly, and create your own branch. If you want to add more packages (or additions to existing packages about how to use them without X) to BLFS, open up a ticket in Trac for each new/modified package. If you're suggesting something else entirely, can you clarify exactly what that is? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
