Here in Spain (at least) charital actions can aleviate the natural weight of taxes. What I mean is... if the LFS Foundation could serve a purpose for the community, but with a more wider perspective, maybe in your area that could count as a basis for not having to pay all the applicable taxes,

Jeremy, I like your idea, having customised instructions in PHP for everyone's need is great. I've been giving this subject a long thought since the first post, and I would like to make a suggestion, although I don't particularly know if it will be useful, but here it is: What I've thought is

clarification about glibc-libidn and a little proposal...

2008-02-25 Thread Julio Meca Hansen
Hi, In the glibc installation step in section 6.9, we say the following: [quote] The glibc-libidn tarball adds support for internationalized domain names (IDN) to Glibc. Many programs that support IDN require the full libidn library, not this add-on (see http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/vi

Hi Jeremy, I'm not sure if my opinion would count as I'm not a formal developer of LFS, more of an user trying to track some new packages and trying to inform if there's any anomaly in some of them, but, well... here goes my two cents: LiveCD or not LiveCD? LiveCD without any need of thinking a

proposal for inclusion of e2fsprogs in chapter 5

2007-12-10 Thread Julio Meca Hansen
As the wiki states, either e2fsprogs or udev needs to be installed in chapter 5 if we're going to include the util-linux-ng package. After analysing the matter a bit, I've been testing with the installation of e2fsprogs in chapter 5, this set of commands: mkdir -v build cd build ../configure --p

2007-11-18 Thread Julio Meca Hansen
The last information that can be extracted from the LFS Trac for ticket #2074 (texinfo-4.11) stated that we had to wait until gcc-4.2.2 was out, now gcc is out and in fact used in the development branch of the book, is it ready for inclusion? I can't mention the CLFS patches for both binutils/texi
