Both sites work for me (seamonkey 2.10.1 and glibc-2.15.so). I haven't built X yet in a 7.2 environment. I think it depends on the nameserver. I use google: 8.8.4.4. I think I'll add this patch to Chapter 6 glibc. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
