Apart from the point regarding the caching, as discussed below: I tend to prefer editing the config files rather than using options to lh_config . This is because I don't suppose the CD building will be a one-time shot. It never is.

You have to be explicit about it. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
