All fine from my perspective. :) > * Add initd-tools to book - This is required for the new scripts. > Jeremy what is the status on this in LightCube OS?

I'd be happy to maintain them. I'll need to schedule some time to get the infrastructure together for them and then post links. > * The three items above are the best I think we can do with it and > should cover> 99% of all cases, the known exceptions being starting the > dhcp client or ppp client manually, and possibly manual configuration of > wireless interfaces (I've never configured wireless in LFS - also what > about VPN tools started manually?).

As such, dhcp is the edge scenario for us and we'll almost certainly never need wireless, and unlikely that we'd need ppp or other sorts of clients. So from our perspective, we're good with static and dhcp. > Hope I didn't miss anything, but I've got to go. Can we do something more explicit about versioning?
