Yes, it doesn't delete the downloaded packages unless you run make clean-sources or something like that. Can't recall the command off-hand. The script just doesn't include all the downloaded sources in the actual iso. > Issuing a 'make snag' command or somesuch to download but not compile it > would be handy...

Well, any *new* features that we want to be included in future build scripts should probably go to the Makefiles in trunk, which, as you may have noticed, are substantially different. They use new and improved (hopefully!) functions. Feel free, however to make whatever changes you think will work to the 6.1-2 scripts and, if you get it to work, we can look at porting that functinality over to the new scripts. > Yea, that it would be.

As I said, try to get it working for the 6.1-2 scripts and then we'll see how best to snap that into trunk. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
