If you want a gui environment or much else, you're on your on. Sure, there's another LFS follow-on group to provide more, but I can't begin to count the times I heard the response from the core LFS bunch: "We're not interested in doing that." Also I got really tired of posts to LFS user groups which resulted in: "You're posting to the wrong group; go away or try lfs-xxx (one of the many other lfs groups); I never could keep them straight.. OTOH, the LFS book is a worthwhile intro to the basics of a linux distribution. -- Collins Richey Denver Area gentoo_rc6 xfce+sylpheed _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
