The idea of the section was to try to explain why we chose some packages and not others. vi vs emacs, autotools, etc. All the packages we use are not essential, but we are not trying to build an absolute minimum. Even if the descriptions are the same as those in Chapter 6, I think it useful to have them all in one place. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
