Not really, beyond noting that the existing BLFS instructions for

Why the golden rule of not working as root?
In the mainframe world we control access with a security package.
This keeps most users from hurting themselves. I've always have had

Yes, and it worked - that occurred to me a little while after I sent the

Hi guys...
Anyone else on LFS 6.4 or later having problems with running HAL? I've
hit a couple of problems in the past week relating to the current 0.5.11
release not working properly.
First problem, it doesn't support current udev versions, including 130

A few comments below, but I'd suggest asking on the NM mailing list
