Yep, LVM is great. Good stuff. Very useful. As are a number of other pieces of software that I think ought to be an a "minimal base system", like openssl, openssh, wget, rsync and screen. In fact, I prefer having all of those over, say, Perl - but that's just me and I have a feeling it will be a hard sell to get LVM into core LFS. I also think it would be useful to have dash as the provider of /bin/sh instead of it being a link to bash - very useful for ensuring truly POSIX compliant scripts. Also it speeds up executing of bootscripts, but I never brought that up because, again, I think it would be a hard sell. :-) JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
