Hi all, I've noticed that the configuration of the X Window System packages has been moved to a new section titled "X Window System Components".
Why was it done this way? This makes the X Window System packages completely different than all the other packages in the book. Nowhere else in the book is the installation (configuration is part of installation) spread out over different pages. I don't include the cases like Subversion client and server being separated the same, as these pages serve distinct and different purposes. But the X Window System *requires* configuration before it will work. Why is this moved off into a section that doesn't even accurately describe it? I must admit I have not kept up with the development of the book in regards to the X stuff, but this new way of jumping around to different pages to do a simple installation is weird. If the goal was to consolidate the material, it should have been put in an "Xinclude" and the been included in each X package in the configuration section. The book's XML now has a separate directory for these "Xincluded" files, so it would be really easy to do this. It takes all of one line on each page and then we'd have the instructions the same as everything else in the book. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 13:02:01 up 43 days, 39 min, 1 user, load average: 0.04, 0.01, 0.00 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
