Hey I just wanted to tell y'all about my project to automate the installation of Linux from source. From my announcement on freshmeat: ----- LFSMake 20000904 Rod Roark - September 05th 2000, 23:04 EDT A Makefile to automate the installation of a "Linux from Scratch" system. It allows you to download, compile and install the basic packages required for a useful system. It supports concurrent downloading and building, and can take advantage of multiple CPUs. In addition to 55 basic system components, you can install XFree86, KDE2, and ALSA. More packages will be supported in future releases. ----- You can get it from http://www.sunsetsystems.com/lfsmake.php3. -- Rod http://www.sunsetsystems.com/
