I didn't disregard the other work. I basically integrated the LSB scripts into the old scripts and made some new changes that I felt were needed. > I asked in July why this rework was happening in your first > announcement thread, no one responded.

You said: "It's probably better to talk to DJ about where he is at and is heading. If you want to know what I was after regarding changes, I can dig up the thread for you... " I did ask DJ, but his time was limited. http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2011-July/064901.html http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2011-July/064928.html >> I'm really quite open to changing what I've done or even throwing >> them out completely if there are major problems, but I've not >> really heard of many issues in the new scripts.

They do reflect the input from the work you and DJ did. The work of an editor is to take inputs from multiple sources and create a final product. I know you have been using the LSB bootscripts and I'm sorry that you don't like the route I took. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
