The last stable release of Perl pre-5.8.0 was 5 years ago and the first stable release of Perl-5.8.0 was 6 and a half years ago. I'm not sure that LFS needs to worry about someone using a host from that vintage. It wouldn't pass many of the other prerequisites either. I realize this was just FYI, but since you casually mention adding a minimal Perl to /tools, I'd thought I'd mention that it really wouldn't do us any good. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
