As someone who is currently running a set of tests on this branch, I would say I generally agree with Richard. Furthermore, removing packages from /tools will probably give you a subtly lower quality end product. Most of the packages in /tools are only there to satisfy dependencies of Ch. 6. Not just, "remove x and you can't build y", but "remove x and you will end up with a different y than before". This is one thing ICA highlights. In fact, I'm really close to proposing adding more packages to /tools. I just need some more ammunition before I try to slay that beast. In the case of ncurses and util-linux, I would say that I could deal with losing some functionality in early Ch. 6, but I'd need to see some evidence that removing ncurses didn't the alter final product. Anyway, keep up the good work, Chris. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
