In BLFS, we created an image/ directory and have the images in SVN. That seems like a better way to me. That way the entire book is in SVN and is not dependent on any external sources.

We will remove the symlink from the DocBook XSL Stylesheets installation as soon as the LFS Makefile is changed to remove the dependency. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
