I can see this added to the page on users and groups, but not a complete discussion. More or less I would think a general overview here. > a more specific discussion at the start of the Audio or Multimedia > sections (or any other sections that throw up requirements for new > users or groups) in BLFS, doing the same thing This really won't work as folks don't tend to read BLFS or follow it linearly. Most folks end up jumping around using the dependency links. You could be trying to install KDE and end up installing *many* of the multimedia packages before you even get KDE installed. And this just following the links. We don't know what order people are going to take in installing the packages, that is why Bruce (rightly so) says that the user/group info would have to be on *many* of the pages if it is moved out of LFS In my opinion, expecting someone to read the beginning discussion for each section is unreasonable. We provide some information here, but nothing critical to build, or use, a package. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 09:54:00 up 36 days, 21:31, 2 users, load average: 0.33, 0.43, 0.35 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
