From a Gentoo-ebuild for shadow, it looks like it honours DESTDIR, & that my difficulties were permissions-related due to my use of the pkgusr-method. It still has me wondering if this proposed branch would require or benefit from the inclusion of the 'fakeroot' package, as used by diy-linux? I've never built either, & am uncertain of it's precise function - so this is pure speculation on my part... taipan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
