Yes. I should have clarified myself more. We use a sed instead of a patch for two reasons. One, it is easier to maintain, and two, it presents more information to the reader. My whole point, which I failed to mention, was that the short sed, where just one word in the line happens to match only one line in the file, makes it where one must grep the file in order to see what the hell is being done. I was passing the *entire line* on purpose, allowing readers to quickly see exactly what was being done, without having to grep or use any other tool to figure it out. Unfortunately, for folks that may type the commands in, it is a bit more tedious. But I seriously doubt many guys type in the commands from the majority of the packages in the BLFS book, unlike the LFS book. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 08:55:00 up 73 days, 8:28, 2 users, load average: 0.11, 0.13, 0.05 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
