Following this logic, we should document: #define VERSION "2.8-20080929-LFS-svn20081101-built-by-John-Doe" since we can't control how it was really built. It's for this reason, lack of control of the build options, that we MUST not call LFS a distro. (You'll say Gentoo isn't one either then, and I agree) I, for one, am proud that LFS is not a distro, and not everyone uses the LFS bootscripts :) R. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
