Thanks for the info. > Gnome-mag will compile without it but it doesn't work. Is this new? It used to work just fine when I was using XFree. And it works just fine now with Xorg. Is there something we need to add to the book about this? Please expand on "it doesn't work". > There should be some mechanism for clearing cr^* from BLFS.

Your idea is good, but without some examples of packages that you consider could be removed, how can we even begin to consider the idea. I realize you mentioned Sawfish. I don't use it, don't know a thing about it, nor have I ever attempted to build it. Can't speak for others. > There are plenty of other things that should be in BLFS.

This is the quickest, best way to get something added. Barring your submitting anything, what you mention is simply a wish list. -- 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] 21:56:00 up 22 days, 6:20, 3 users, load average: 0.08, 0.04, 0.07 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
