[Cross post to blfs-dev] I personally agree. Let's hear Bruce's opinion. If he agree I'll do it for BLFS 10.1, and reference it in LFS 10.1. 10.0 is too hurry, I think. For 10.0 I'll update the hint again. -- Xi Ruoyao <xry...@mengyan1223.wang> School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
