The "recent changes" were all done by me and I was expecting reactions, when did them.

And we see just now :-). For me, the problem is very particular, in this case. The note should be modified to be consistent with the rest of the book, any time an x-terminal is needed for running the tests. If there are no objections, I would like to ask you, please, to fix the fop page. -- []s, Fernando -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
