Yes, I wasn't aiming for 6.4. As I said, these changes will be going into the jh branch. The only thing holding me back from doing that now, is that I want to finish up the 64-bit items first (read boot loader) so that it's an easy merge to trunk from the branch. > Now we know more, but working with very old distros like RH 6.2 is not most > user's focus. After all, overcoming Linux 0.01 only requires a LiveCD. Understood. The real value to me is what things we catch by trying to build on such 'broken' systems. Working on such an old distro has allowed me to discover some interesting things about our build. I wouldn't have noticed the problem with the fixed includes without it - that little bug might have stayed in LFS for quite a while, especially since Greg is now focused on a different build method entirely. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
