Have you adapted a package or ports system       to your installs? If I wanted to rock with LFS I would consider NetBSD's       pkgsrc... it would be a cheap way to include a packaging/ports/software       management system on a minimalist Linux distribution.              --       gopher://gopher.richardfalken.com/1/richardfalken       --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux        * Origin: Palantir * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FL * (1:135/115)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 15/0 18/0 200 50/109 90/1 105/81 106/201 114/709       SEEN-BY: 116/116 123/0 25 126 131 160 180 200 525 755 3001 129/305       SEEN-BY: 135/0 115 205 300 384 388 390 391 153/7715 154/10 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/1 6 222/2 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 206 307 317       SEEN-BY: 229/400 426 428 452 470 550 616 664 700 240/1120 250/1 261/1466       SEEN-BY: 266/512 275/1000 280/464 282/1038 291/111 292/854 299/6 301/1       SEEN-BY: 301/113 812 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 256 1124 5858 463/68 467/888 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 712/1321 3634/0 12 27 56 57 119 5000/111 5001/100 5005/49       SEEN-BY: 5019/40 5020/715 828 830 846 1042 4441 5030/49 1474 5036/26       SEEN-BY: 5054/30 5061/133 5075/35 128 5083/444 5090/958       PATH: 135/115 3634/12 5020/1042 301/1 460/58 229/426           |
