I'll need to look at it later, but glad to hear it. I switched over to systemd when you were previously working on it (Although sortof a love/hate relationship with it. I love how it organizes the bootscripts and orders them, but just not sure if I like it handling everything it is handling). I like how your gameplan sounds, and agreed on BLFS. The scope is huge, especially when a few packages just need a few tweaks difference. -- Nathan Coulson (conathan) ------ Location: British Columbia, Canada Timezone: PST (-8) Webpage: http://www.nathancoulson.com -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
