Gmane Gateway
Hi all, It appears that the Gmane email-to-news gateway is broken right now. Gmane shows nothing for today, yet there have been many messages sent to the various groups. I don't have access to my regular email right now, and must use mail2web, so if this is a redundant message please disregard. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Test logs for 6.3
If anyone has clean test/build logs to contribute for the 6.3 book, please tar them up and post them with a hardware description. Preferably Ch. 5 and Ch. 6, but just Ch. 6 will do. They will eventually go here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/build-logs/ I have logs for the Ch. 6 tests form a Core Duo laptop. These were generated from jhalfs, which makes it really easy if anyone is interested in helping out. I'll be uploading them later today some time. -- Dan P.S. Same goes for development/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
