Looks like you have based your comments based primarily on package management used by "binary distros". The features that you describe are available in source based package distros such as those used by Gentoo, Lunar Linux. Gentoo uses USE flags to set what features to compile for each package. Lunar Linux prompts the user the first time an optional feature is available for a particular package. Both distros (and I am guessing other source based distros) provide an option to compile and install a minimal version of the package. Most of the discussions on PM in LFS tend to end with using DESTDIR for package installation which does not affect what packages and what dependencies the user wants to install. -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:tus...@linuxfromscratch.org http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
