Bandwidth is a precious thing no ? I will > respect it. no need to apologize. it's ok. for an LFS system - i'm just amazed that you didn't know where your stuff came from and where it was at! (advantages of systems with package management - they let you know all this as they keep track of it for you and provide tools to hunt, search, list, update, remove, add etc.). i only compile a select few things (almost exclusively stuff i develop - but the odd other thing here and there) and so it's easy to keep track. just as an fyi - over the past decade or so of having done this whole "release open source software, handle user support email, irc etc." i have seen a LOT of questions come in that are "please help me administer my own system because i have no clue how ti do it" type questions (where does this package come from - why do i have the wrong version? why does my stuff act strangely because i installed 2 or 3 different versions of an app or lib in different places and different parts of the lib or app are being found at runtime/compile-time). anyway - a reasonably chunk of "support time" boils down to things unrelated to the code written and distributed, but to people knowing what it is they are doing with their own systems (and often we have to guess/divine/stab in the dark to help because it is their systems, and we can't see them/poke around etc.). i know from a user point of view this can be frustrating that we get a bit edgy helping out with these things - because we would prefer that such prerequisite experience and knowledge of their system is handled outside of our "support" because it is not something we can really fix in code - if it is a problem we can fix in our code - then it is of interest. :) so don't take this wrongly - i'm just letting you know that you should always FIRST check your own system and os - keep your house in order and use support mechanism from your distribution or "google" for things BEFORE writing an email to here - because once emails come in, it involves the time and effort of a bunch of people other than yourself to help you. if you can help yourself first - try that :) anyway - good luck with your lfs stuff - that will be a chunk of hard work to keep managed and up to date :) P.S. - take note of the smilies! :) > > Carsten Haitzler (The Rasterman) wrote: > > On Sun, 29 Apr 2007 11:40:11 -0400 roland <ra...@br...> babbled: > > > > > >> Sorry all did not mean to cause a traffic storm!
