Are you suggesting: sed -i -e '/Token/s/y$/n/' config.in That would be the minimum, although there are a lot of things in net-tools where unneeded things are built: IPX Appletalk packet radio X.25 Econet Ash ARCnet SLIP PPP IPIP STRIP DLCI FDDI HIPPI HDLC IrDA EUI-64 InfiniBand We could create a downloadable input file and then do: make config < net-tools-recommended.txt There are other options: create the file with an echo or make a patch to change all the defaults to exclude the above irrelevant options. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
