+1 I have yet to see one single example of messages exceeding the 72 char limit on a standard terminal anyway, but I only use the norm x86. The boot logging I like, but I think you'll find the majority of the community will agree with you on ripping it out as the default. The only problem I see with the above is how to separate them, so it'll have to be all or nothing in contrib without using patches. Also, logger can be left in /usr/bin in the book. --DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
