My google-foo for the sources just wasn't cutting it. Nor was my grep-foo of the LFS book. Try searching for the word "at", and you'll see... :) (And now I see, that I needed to be grep-ing the book for "At", not " at "...) >This is the first time I've seen a request for it. > This is the first time I've wanted to use "at", so I wouldn't consider my request a "request" - I just wanted to try it out, and when I couldn't find it, it became a mission I had to complete. (and trust me, a trivial one at that) In any case, thanks again! -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
