Thanks. There's a lot of good info there... > Nothing has been said about BLFS except "why is it stagnant"? Hopefully, it won't remain that way; there are a number of things I would like to discuss / see discussed. Having finished building a 2.6.23 kernel system w Xorg 7.2 & GNOME, there are a number of things that came up in the course of doing that I think would make for some very interesting discussions. I also noted some things w the book (typos, dead links, a few things that are out of date, etc.); what's the "right way" to deal with them? Also, I ended up doing a number of things that aren't in the book but very well could be; I wouldn't mind writing them up. A few things come to mind that might also be good tips / hints / etc. Again, though, I'm not sure what the "right way" to go about submitting something like that is. I would very much like to discuss XULRunner / embedded mozilla - embedded gecko engine apps; having spent the last 4 or 5 days messing with XULRunner after having a problem (stack dump @ exit - doesn't affect app while running, it's a known problem in the embedded code under serveral cirumstances). The Mozilla people have said any future embedded apps should be built w XULRunner, not by grabbing the gecko engine from another app. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's run up into this gem, I would very much like to hear what other people's opinions on this are. "If you build it, they will come". Right? or something like that, anyway...
