You might also take a look at the build system for ipcop, it is built using LFS coupled with its own make files. IIRC it includes in the build system a list of files that will be installed on the target system. The build system source code is only in the order of 1 MB I think (Naturally it downloads a lot of other sources to actually build, but you don't need to do that to look at the target file list. > > Sascha. > -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
