I feel that question maybe missing an option fhat picks up on the "From Scratch" side of LFS. As an example of the many ways in which a tarball of source code might be manipulated - I'm thinking of explict patching as well as "patching" via sed and other command line tools, and then the command-line manipulation of some of the installed files- the book is, perhaps, unrivalled. Perhaps an option near the top of the list, along the lines of (x) To learn how to build and deploy packages from their sources would serve to mop up some of the, (5) other, responses? -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
