Sounds a bit like gobolinux. Actually, /apps sounds a bit like osx. If this is your *first* build of LFS, I encourage you not to do it - many of us make enough errors before we understand how it normally fits together, and we won't be able to help (it's bad enough when people use the "package users" hint). Actually, I think you'll be wasting your time unless this is going to be a minimal system. On a typical desktop system there are several hundred packages, and I think the pain will be out of all proportion to the result. For a server it might, perhaps, add extra security but everything you do to maintain it will be specific to your system and therefore the knowledge isn't transferable. 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
