Surely 57 - that being the number of package users created when installing the current SVN of LFS (though I'm including LFS_Bootscripts and the kernel as "packages" there ) Then again, maybe it is 56: because you don't really need to install Berkeley DB (so to get arpd from IPRoute2) at the LFS stage of system building ? -- Regards, ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * Kevin M.
