There are a fiew now that will be able to do somthing with it that are getting involved now/again. jhalfs is a specific tool. its made for the book parsing specificly and only. nalfs ideal is to be a network admin's tool as well as a home user. you would be able to install/maintain a whole network with nalfs or just your home machine. these are still goals, how ever nalfs is at the point where those goals are next on the list of todo.
Jeremy's scripts work great for what they are. following the book exactly. many people will do well with just that. there is also many more who will need much more. As for the xml you dont need to learn xml for this. you need to understand the syntax used in the profile. grab your self one and look at the dtd doc on the alfs site. between those 2 you will beable to understand for the most part how a profile works. i still get stuck on some of the syntax and such but that dtd doc is my friend ;) -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
