<opinion>I really don't want to cater to those who "don't read instructions well". In addition to providing information, we also have the goal of helping people to learn. If a fully automated process is desired, there is always Gentoo. I also think that there are other outstanding issues that need to be addressed that are higher priority.</opinion> -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
