No, I don't have any suggestions. If you are using the packages in the BLFS SVN book, for your production CD, then great. However, from my casual perusing of the LiveCD mailing list, it seems that there are 'production' releases of the CD frequently. And these releases seem to be released just a day or so after there are package updates. My point being that the BLFS SVN book is supposed to be considered an unstable environment, yet other LFS entities are using it for their production environment, with the testing of it being that "it builds". Yes, we know it builds. But only with much testing, usage and overall synergy of the built packages can it be determined that the environment is stable. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 21:34:00 up 85 days, 6:58, 3 users, load average: 0.08, 0.14, 0.38 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
