Thanks for it. I just looked at Programming, because was trying to find what you did with OJDK (sorry, only today I have seen your query). Then, I saw: python2 2.7.6 0 * python2 docs 2.7.6 2.7.6 I believe the address is http://legacy.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.6/ -- []s, Fernando -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
