That's the hard part. The cheap solution I've used is to create default configuration files and install them to a non-final location. On my system, it's /usr/share/default. Then I check if the configuration file already exists at the real location before overwriting it. If you use a real package manager like rpm, it may have builtin facilities for handling these things. For registering the init scripts, I haven't solved that yet, but have been thinking about it lately. You might be able to take one of the tools from the other distros, like chkconfig in Fedora. You'll probably need to hack up the LFS bootscripts if you want to do anything fancy with them. These are some of the challenges that distros have solved that we avoid completely in LFS. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
