Hi Luca, These are not things that are needed in a base or core system. You can always build LFS without them, and then add this functionality afterwards. If you built LFS without, say, ncurses, you would have to rebuild many packages to add it, but LVM isn't like this (as far as I know). There is Core-core, that is, the Toolchain, kernel and the applications needed to run a prompt after booting, and then the outer-core, the tools that make the core suitable to do enough to build the system you want. Then there is the beyond-core of things you just expect a Unix system to have. LFS does this well right now. I extensions need to be considered, but I don't see them as LFS core, more a Hint and not even a BLFS item. I've written hints along the lines of 'if you want to build LFS with capability X, then do this at stage Y...', and this is what I think you should do. A good example would be my runit hint (now unsupported). Best wishes, Richard. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
