Re: xorg build

Thanks DJ, That leads to another question I guess. I just finished LFS, so, now what next? I think I want KDE and firefox next. But what should really come next? I'm using this as learning tool, so working in command mode seems to lengthen that process. On the subject of package managers.

Re: xorg build

Thanks guys... I found the proto-7.2.wget file by poking around. There is no additional files on this screen. Maybe my browser is having issues? http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable/x/xorg7.html On a mac with firefox. On Nov 9, 2008, at 2:53 PM, DJ Lucas wrote: > Ralph Porter

I must be missing something here. The instructions in blfs for xorg 7.2 says to run the script. bash -e #exit on all errors section=proto version=7.2 mkdir $section cd $section # download and check packages grep -v '^#' ../${section}-${version}.wget | wget -i- -c \ -B http://xorg.freedesktop.
