I did not see those commits, I suppose you're speaking of changes you've done in your local sandbox. Well, if the text has to go, then it has to go. I did however, think we were trying to preserve as much as possible until after the branch was cut, that way the text is always available without having to pull a dated SVN copy. > I don't see the harm in that.

As I've been fairly busy with other stuff, perhaps I just don't recall what you're speaking of. > If you really want it commented out, I'll go back and redo it > on Friday.

I'm afraid you lost me in the first "the book is ok, I don't believe it needs changes, but wait, I have these changes to do". :-) I suppose I'll try and clarify what I asked in the previous message: What exactly does changing the packages and instruction commands do to benefit a (B)LFS X installation? Because if the answer is simply cosmetics, or FHS compliance, then I'd rather punt and let's get a release out. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.22] [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] 09:12:00 up 73 days, 0 min, 1 user, load average: 0.03, 0.06, 0.07 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
