Wish I could help, Matt. But I simply don't know anything about the part* stuff. I simply saw that over in CBLFS, there was a mention about it. But you never know about what is over there, anyone can update a page on that Wiki, be it good information or bad. My question to the community, is should this be added to LFS? I really don't know about the part* stuff. I don't think Joe C. is subscribed any longer, but if someone wanted to send him a private email, he may have insight. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
