Has it been shown that the current method has leaks from the build system into the new LFS system? If so, I'm not aware of them. Can you point to anything specific? If we are going this route because something "might" be influencing the new LFS system, I think its overkill. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
