my concern is not space. i just like to have dynamic libs for security reasons. whenever i update a package i know to have covered all dependent packages. now libcrypt in sysvinit is one of the last static libraries i have in use. one of my next projects is to check all packages for included libraries like gettext or pcre. mayor versions which break the compatibilty are a problem as you mentionned. but usually you're not forced to but stay happy with the next minor update. tobias -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
