I have not, so far, seen alex's latest post, only this reply, but I am fairly sure that is what often happens when personal replies are also sent to the list : mailman sometime imposes a delay before the post to the list gets sent out. Personally, I am wondering what has prompted these posts (I include the post about attachments, which apparently only included a standard list 'footer' as the attachemnt, along with both html and plain multipart versions of the mail - that makes me assume alex is using his OSX system ;) Alex: 1. Until recently, BLFS has always used -j1 for timings. For LO that recently changed in svn, and the change was matched with a comment about how many jobs were used. What is your problem with that ? On your machine, the time for building binutils using make -j1 will differ from mine. The SBU time is only a rough guide, and one _big_ packages (LO is probably the biggest), the difference will be magnified. 2. You built LFS, but you are scared about dollar signs ? Really ? Personally, I used to prefer back-ticks for subshells, but the effect is the same, is it not ? 3. And since I am now replying : what _was_ that post about whether it is ok to send attachments about ? In any week we usually get *several* attachments on the support lists. Whether they are useful is a different matter. ĸen, currently winding down for the night after finding _another_ problem in a binary texlive installation : I *loathe* binaries, but you are free to differ. -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady. Sometimes she went to bed as early as 6 a.m. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list. A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.
