It stays pretty current, but file-5.13 is not in the book yet. It's only a couple of days old, but in the TODO list. LFS-7.3 will be released in the next few days. I'm not sure file-5.13 will be in that or not, but it will definitely be in SVN in a week. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
