Except for the bdb package (which most users may install down the line anyways), there is no extra space and memory being taken up. The various language man-pages and various locales are already being installed, the disk space is already taken up. Just check out the /usr/share/locale and /usr/share/man directories. -- 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
