I'll write a page for Lm_sensors in a few days. Other than that I don't have any plans. I suppose I could start hassling to get Roxterm and Sylpheed into the book :) > I'm sure there are packages that are not quite up to date and not in the > ticket > system, but overall progress is excellent and we are as up to date as I've > seen > in probably 5 or more years. Indeed, and it's had some cruft trimmed too, which has also improved it. > Perhaps we should discuss an overall plan.

I don't like the Xorg chapter with its scripted downloading and compiling. It seems to me to be at odds with the rest of BLFS. I'd like to see every Xorg package with its own page complete with dependencies (they aren't all required). But it'd be such a big job I don't think it'll ever happen. > Should we tackle a LiveCD again? As a BLFS thing? I thought the Live CD was a separate project. It seems to me that the big problem with a live CD is supporting all the hardware that's out there. With a lot of work we could get it to work on all the computers we have but every other person who tried it would have new hardware issues. It would be a labour of Sisyphus. I recently tried both Fedora and Ubunut 32 bit on 2 of my computers and neither of them could work my graphics cards (recent ATI that require firmware). Oddly the x86_64 versions worked. > By the way, I'd like to say a great big thank you to all of you who have > worked > so hard to improve this project in the last few months.
