I don't know what you mean by 'daily-driver'. Part of the learning experience is to learn about dependencies. If you want a Gui, you need to figure out which one you want and then follow the dependency chain backwards. In many cases, you may not know if you need an optional dependency or not, but we can't really figure that out for you. If you want an example of one way to build a desktop, you can take a look at: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~bdubbs/files/updating-lfs.html -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
