It will work for Ch 6 only as long as we are installing it inside chroot. But I meant more in terms of using it for package management. The above technique gave me the following problems: 1. When reinstalling glibc, it would not log some header files (I think stubs.h). Ditto for some man pages from other packages. 2. For packages that modify a system wide config file (such as /etc/xml/catalog), the system wide config file would get logged in multiple packages. 3. In case a package overwrote a file from another package, it would log it in multiple places. -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
