However, and this is just my opinion, we already have a perfect avenue to display anything new within the hints project. Anything LFS related, wether it different from the norm or not, fits well there. How many remember the PLFS hint? Look at the LFS build method now. Take your time. If enough interest is generated from the hint, then discuss a new project to fall under ALFS, side by side with nALFS. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
