[A86] OT: Re: Re: bin2var help




OT

I did linux from scratch, but found it to be more of a hassle than
necessary, so I switched to beehive (http://www.beehive.nu) which is all
optimized for i686, and actually follows the FSH (ie gnome and kde are
installed in /opt if you install them ... it's darn nice)

It has a package manager, it's called tar -C ;-)
