I don't think I do - for system builds I just touch a file, do the install, then find what is newer than the file (I don't ever automate uninstalling, so when files like /etc/ntp.drift show up, I don't really care. OTOH, if I've been browsing with konqueror while doing the install, I get mighty annoyed - cache in /var instead of ~/ which is on a separate fielsystem here). For BLFS editing, I mostly use a DESTDIR install (or, a series of them with different build settings). > If so, this is a very simple addition.

Interesting, I'll try to remember that. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
