Re: /usr/share/info/dir in which 2.20 install

Resending due to the server outage this morning. Sorry if it turns
out to be a duplicate.

 Thanks to using the fakeroot approach, I noticed
 there is a /usr/share/info/dir file being
 installed by which 2.20 following the BLFS
 current development instructions. It looks to me
 like this dir file with a single entry (for
 which) would replace the current dir file with
 all my current info entries.
 Is this the case? If so, should this be fixed in
 the BLFS instructions to avoid losing the info
 directory?

I'm not really sure what you're saying, especially the part about the
fakeroot approach, but the which package uses install-info to install
the .info file just as it should. There is nothing to fix.

has xdm been removed from X11

[Andrew Barnes]

Hi,

Its been a while since I built X11 from source and I've found that xdm no 
longer appears in the sources. Have the developers removed it? There may have 
been better alternatives, but xdm worked and had no external dependancies.

I've been looking for other login manager's that have few dependancies, and 
come across SLiM. Has anyone tried it? Are there any others?

If I can find one, and can make it work, I'll post the instructions :)

Thanks in advance
Andy
