I am afraid I will have to respectfully disagree with that statement in regards to RPM which I use as a pkg system. As I make all the packages myself I still have complete control over the software installed and their dependencies. I assume that other pkg managers are the same. You would only lose control when the packages are prepared by someone else which would be highly unlikely on a B/LFS system. -- Shane Shields Registered LFS Compiler: 7582 To drink the WINE of success you must first seek the sayings of source Anyone sending unwanted advertising e-mail to this address will be charged $25 for network traffic and computing time.
