Or newer kernel releases, of course (but those might be a double-edged sword - me, I've neen building my own kernels since approx 2.2.13 so I usually update to later -rc kernels, and sometimes they bite me).
The point is that we're continually trying to get better. I recognize that for Paul moving to 7.10 is a big jump forward, but old versions are not maintained. If anybody is starting now and intending to keep using LFS, my advice is to use svn and to watch for what changes until 8.0 is released. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
