Ok we all know about that nice hint, but my intend is also educational as well.
Stating out what is essential and what is optional is really of technical nature. The problem for me was many month ago to get to know why we do include this pack besides the fact of dependency. A sane system doesn need a gcc installed as an essential part. This is as many distros do it an optional install stuff Making a clear structure in the LFS book is necessary even for the devel packs regards -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Auftrag von Chris Staub Gesendet: Mittwoch, 21.

BTW, there already is a small mention of package managers in the book. -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
