The only difference I see as compared to what is in LFS is the addition of $PM_DEST. If the envar is not set. I don't think it creates any chances for typos. In the worst case if the user forgets to set $PM_DEST, it would install stuff into / which is how LFS does it anyways. > other hand, I plan on using it in conjunction with package management. Yep, I do that. And frankly I found the fake root approach awesome and understand why most of the distros use it. -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
