I > copy and pasted from that page that says corruption could become an issue I don't really want to argue an issue that I'm not sure about, but the note says that it 'could' become an issue. It doesn't say it 'is' an issue. I think the key words are "lessens the chance". We could probably say the same thing about building in a chroot environment. If we are careful, we could get away without it, but it is a safety measure. >> I don't recall explicit problems, but I didn't run the ICA analyses. > If true, then that ties in with my previous comments.

I look at it like someone who wears suspenders 'and' a belt. Either does the job, but if a problem with one comes up, the other backs it up. You are arguing because of an implication that, quite honestly, I don't see. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
