Sorry about being a PITA about this, but I'm not in favor of something like this either. I suppose I look at it like this: the *owners* of the software want folks who use it to have the license scroll by a page at a time, then agree to the the license, before they install it. Doing something that defeats the intentions of the *owners* of the software, seems to me to be on shaky ground. The way FOP is right now, the license will scroll by one page at a time, the way the owners of the software designed it to be. If a user is savvy enough to redirect the output of this command to a logfile, (as is right now and not being told about this by BLFS) with the added benefit that it automates the command, then it is something the *reader* decided to do, not something that *BLFS* did, or told the reader to do. I see a difference. Perhaps there isn't any though. But I try to give the benefit of the doubt to the developer and owner of the software when it comes to licensing issues. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 17:05:00 up 82 days, 2:29, 3 users, load average: 0.99, 0.63, 0.32 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
