I have to agree with Bruce and Jeremy. I always was under the impression,that there is some kind of interaction between LFS/BLFS. Watching the strong reaction from the BLFS team as a whole (and users too),i suppose you 'll gain nothing but hassle,definitely not a sensible aproach. Please for the benefit of all of us,try a little bit more to cooperate between,both of the teams. I mean,i was kind of surprised that the BLFS leader (exept i missed something),he didn't was informed at all for such a critical change,that will affect immediately uncountable instructions. If i was a blfs editor,phrases like the following,they would made me feel really (gently speaking) bad. #-------------------------------# sound/audio devices - need non-LFS software to use it printing devices - need non-LFS software to use it usb - need non-LFS software to use it video - need non-LFS software to use it network devices - Default assumption is that is needs non-LFS software #-------------------------------# I am sure everything gonna be alright,atleast this is what i am wishing for.
