current index of the BLFS book. If there is interest, I can try to
hack up a quick version of this idea.

T or PackageKit.
If LFS moves to package management, I think these kinds of higher level
tools would be great additions to BLFS, unless they also end up needing
to be integrated into the system from the outset.
In any case, this is exactly the kind of information we need for this

I often forget the (extremely common) case of the average user. Thanks
for taking the t
s too dumb and/or lazy to read documentation to get
dependency information, and to protect vendors from spurious support
requests from said users. If that's at least part of the reasoning, I
think I might be beginning to understand.

simply goes to far. I see little need to go much further than the
POSIX specification and the FHS.
The FHS could do with some revision, but it at least tries to stay
reasonable.

ksba-1.0.3, and applying patches from debian to libksba,
and gnupg, but no luck. Also checked that this error also occurs in
gnupg-2.0.7.
Anyone else seeing this error? Or know how to fix it?

way do we want to abandon our current target
audience, or LFS veterans. This would quickly spell death for the
project.
So, all of a sudden, we have multiple target audiences, at very
different levels of experience. It will be a problem trying to come up
with a solution that will satisfy all of them, but I think it can be
done.

Add in games later, or maybe media center
functions, or something like that. Probably throw in a module on
distribution / livecd's. I just forgot to list it up there. A lot of
this internally would be just a reorganization, so editing wouldn't
change too much.
Anyway, just anothe
further ideas?

In large part, I agree with what has been said. Another note on the PM,
it may be a good idea to only include one PM in the first version of
this new model, get things out the door. Then add support for other
PMs in later versions.

Hello all,
Just a heads up that man-db-2.5.1 needs --sysconfdir=/etc to install its
config file in the proper place, otherwise it goes into /usr/etc.

Happy birthday to LFS!
This is a wonderful project, one of the two most important projects to
me (the other being KDE). This is really how I learned linux about 4
years ago. I tried a couple distros for about a month, and saw a lot
of potential, but there was always something that seemed wron
