I have no problems with what you did, or why, but that's what I was told (at least wrt LFS). Personally, I'd rather see *all* patches we use for the book apply absolutely cleanly without any offsets or fuzz. I realize that the motive for not doing that is the extra work involved, but on the other hand, it does provide a bit more quality assurance. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
