The latest version I ran was a pretty recent SVN because I needed the drivers for my JMicron PATA controller. The main reason I use it is for testing bootstraps of the book since it's pretty easy to get up and running without intruding on my current system. The other reason I really like to keep it around is as a rescue CD. It doesn't happen too much, but the knowledge that there are a clean set of tools ready on a CD makes me comfy. I think it's pretty good as is. The X setup is nice, but I mainly want it for the toolchain/base utilities. I really don't use the extra stuff too much. I think the minimal build you're putting together is great. I rarely feel the need to have all the sources on disk, and usually I just need a shell to start rocking. I used to find the C based init program irritating, but now it's been removed for a shell based one. That seems nicer and more flexible. I can't really think of anything that I'd really like to see added. I think it's very good for it's main purpose: letting me bootstrap a system. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
