I would like to agree here with both Randy and Wayne. I'm not a Gnome user, so I really can't comment on the specifics, but I think the book is a bit more useful when the editor expresses an opinion. If a recommended dependency is explained, then the user still knows it's not required and can make a choice. If everything is just optional, then it makes it slightly harder for a user to decide if the dependency is important or not. If a user doesn't know, then I think they would go with the recommendations and end up with a more satisfactory result. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
