Only slight criticism intended, and not aimed at those still active at all! I really enjoyed those days when the 'Pure LFS' was being developed - the cut and thrust :-) of technical debate etc.. Now it is just a matter of moving the versions forward. For a laugh, I considered building LFS-2.4, just for old times sake, then I realised that the kernel doesn't have any of the drivers needed for my current hardware... As it happens, the upgrade of Oracle Berkeley Database to the latest version coincided with a need to build it for a new postfix, so thanks for that!
