If one defines the LSB standard as encompassing only the minimum of what is required for Linux to be a usable OS, that misses one of LSB's important goals: To make it possible for all major applications to run on all LSB-compliant distributions of Linux. This isn't an academic exercise - it is a very pragmatic approach to solving the business problems of having divergent distributions. -Nick -- ********************************************************** Nicholas Petreley LinuxWorld - InfoWorld [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.petreley.com - Eph 6:12 ********************************************************** .
