I agree that we shouldn't go out of the way to disable unneeded portions of builds, but I do not think we should be fixing them if they are broken either. If they cause a problem, then disable them in Chapter 5. The only time they need fixing is in Chapter 6. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
