Jeremy, LFS was started by Gerard Beekmans way back in the last century. There is a museum on the website at: http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs-museum/ Releases are intermittent and depend on how much time the volunteers have and their inclination to make a release (which takes a lot of effort, over and above just maintaining the development branch). If you have built a released version successfully, then you might like to try the development branch, I suggest you checkout a local copy using Subversion before starting, or it may chnage while you are half way thorough! In my experience the editors are so skilled that it is often safer than the stable branch. (I use 'safer' to mean 'having fewer bugs in the installed system that could compromise the system', and 'stable' to mean 'doesn't change much') -- R. > Linux From Scratch Registered User #207 > You can send me .doc, .xls, .ppt, etc, and I'll use OpenOffice to > read them. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
