Actually, I was trying to avoid that. The simple fact is that I rarely consult DIY. For reference, I looked at what I was already familiar with: CLFS. I didn't even remember that DIY had a native x86_64 build until after I already started my edits on my working copy. If there's a better method (one that is a closer fit to what we want to achieve in LFS) from DIY, great. Let's use it. > Besides, wouldn't your efforts be better spent getting LFS-6.3 out > the door, instead of trying to incorporate into LFS (the hard way) > what everyone has access to using already discovered methodology?

That's what bringing x86_64 into LFS would be - adding what has already been done with deviations appropriate for our BOOK/community. I'm not at all trying to make this about me, so it's not *my* deviations. The only reason I was the one to create the branch and start dropping in changes is because I was hoping to create a full 64-bit LiveCD. It would be very useful to me personally and at work, and we've had a few requests for such a CD on the livecd list. Am I free to use my time in that manner? BTW, how does this happen? How does it work out that I get attacked for my efforts? I created a branch *specifically* as an out of the way place where if I mess it up, no harm is done. I freely admit through all of my messages and commits that there may be errors to what is there. I ask for suggestions, and I try to show that I'm open to other methods and am willing to adjust. And yet people blast me for what I'm doing?
