They was removed in one of the code clean-ups to can have a more simple, readable, and uniform code. Yes, that take out of the game some older distros (Ubuntu 6.06.1 TLS works fine as a host for me), but we don't have the manpower needed to test and support all of them. Thanks for the reports, at least it will help other users having the same issues in their host. -- Manuel Canales Esparcia Usuario de LFS nº2886: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org LFS en castellano: http://www.escomposlinux.org/lfs-es http://www.lfs-es.info TLDP-ES: http://es.tldp.org -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
