Just a straight "make install" but keep in mind that it was same version, just the patches added. I also have backups of all installed files in tar.gz format, so not a big deal for me if it did foul up. I used to do that all the time, but never from RL5. I build so frequently now that it really doesn't make much sense. I just wanted to see if it would work. -- DJ Lucas -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
