What I was thinking of is that we could do a final and only build of util-linux and e2fsprogs as the first packages of Chapter 6. That way we could drop in util-linux-ng without any other changes. It avoids building util-linux (and if we go to util-linux-ng, e2fsprogs) in Chapter 5. I don't know if this really makes sense or not. It may just be some minor optimization in the package order. I'm not advocating anything here, but just discussing options. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
