I have to agree with Bruce and Jeremy.
I always was under the impression,that there is some kind of interaction
between LFS/BLFS.
Watching the strong reaction from the BLFS team as a whole (and users too),i
suppose you 'll
gain nothing but hassle,definitely not a sensible aproach.
Please for the benefit of all of us,try a little bit more to cooperate
between,both of the teams.
I mean,i was kind of surprised that the BLFS leader (exept i missed
something),he didn't was informed
at all for such a critical change,that will affect immediately uncountable
instructions.
If i was a blfs editor,phrases like the following,they would made me feel really
(gently speaking) bad.
#-------------------------------#
sound/audio devices - need non-LFS software to use it
printing devices - need non-LFS software to use it
usb - need non-LFS software to use it
video - need non-LFS software to use it
network devices - Default assumption is that is needs non-LFS software
#-------------------------------#
I am sure everything gonna be alright,atleast this is what i am wishing
for.
Peace.
