I was playing with this a bit. It's not too bad, but the problem is that Xorg is such a big job as it is that the Wiki just seems like a lot of extra effort. I'm not sure there's really a ton of benefit for having individual links for each tarball. There are other things I think that would be a lot more interesting to have on the Wiki. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
