I didn't bother using them as I figured they just do what I usually do manually, but it seems they're a bit smarter than that and don't add null values or values that already exist. I tried Armin's suggestion but the existence of a null value anywhere in the path seems to break it, and so having the pathappend function definitely seems like the sane way to go. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
