LFS nuts anyone? Here is another "nut" :)

Perspective is everything...   :)
I've done enough LFS's to recite them from memory, I still learn something 
every time I try...
My final goal is to have a script to "manage" my LFS inventory (most of my 
servers are LFS) but I've found that my script may have other applications.
THANKS!!!   :)

PS: It'd do me a GREAT service if you just glanced over 
http://www.kitepilot.com/LFS/B.-MANAGE-MACHINE-README.txt and told me if it 
at least makes any sense.
I'm not the best technical writer...
