> Is there any reason LFS does not include WGET? I think so. wget is just the tip of an iceberg. I do/would not let ANY (B)LFS system have any network connection until it was suitably prepared, "armored-up". So IPTABLES would have to come first, then my firewall, neither of which are part of LFS.
I spend the extra time before running the first things in Ch. 4 to plan out what I'm going to want, packages and versions, and make my build scripts. I download those immediately, while I'm protected by my host system. Then when I finish LFS, I begin BLFS with everything I need. Everything is stand-alone until I have about 20 packages installed. Generally far beyond. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates." (I do not personally endorse any additions after this line.
