That's not true. You do need those packages to build GNOME. NetworkManager is not just "network manager". It also provides dynamic libraries which are NECESARY for full GNOME, thus it is recommended if installing GNOME. Same for Evolution Data Server. It's not just meant for Evolution, but also for other stuff. You can always do minimal build, but please don't complain here if something goes wrong. The instructions in the book are made so that whole GNOME (including the shell) can be installed and work flawlesly. As for Linux PAM, use 1.1.6. Same instructions apply. Check BLFS trac (bug ticket) for link to 1.1.6. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
