Right (for My Machine, My Rules), but historically we've seen problems when people try to use newer toolchains than are in the book (i.e. build failures). In general, it's very hard to recommend that anyone use an LFS book older than the latest release. For BLFS, at least for those desktop packages which are in BLFS, the development book is often far more up to date (although, at the moment, it probably still has a lot that hasn't changed since the 6.3 release). ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
