I do Alex, but when 32 bit is not being sold any more in the stores, will not LFS be redone to be 64 bit? [ OT to the livecd anyway :) ]

[ it took me a couple of hours of searching to find the net-setup script when I first needed to change the nic to a static ip. ] Jaqui -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
