I agree with this, but remember the slogan of LFS. 'Your distro, your rules'. Users are free to use patches or not. The thing to remember is that the LFS editors don't like patches, but only add them when we think it is necessary for the LFS environment. I was looking at the patches a few days ago and was thinking that the total number has really decreased lately. Right now, there are only eight. I can remember when there were twice that many. Also, the headers in each patch describe the purpose of that particular patch. Finally, there are philosophically no differences between a sed and a patch. Both have the same purpose--to enhance the user experience. We prefer using a sed because the changes made is more visible. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
