I came to LFS because I was interested in learning the "process" of building a stable linux system. Not just to follow a recipe for building one. One of the things I found to be lacking was more of an explanation of the process of evaluating new packages and how they change your system. This may or may not be something LFS is attempting to teach, I don't know.
I Personally am using a method like Greg's. I use this to make logs of what packages are doing to my system. More info is better when trying to figure out why thing are broke as far as I'm concerned. -- Regards, Jeff Cousino -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
