Hey Nicholas!

 NB> So I take it the networking was a breeze then?

Once I figured out the systemd method.  I am still using systemv and have no 
desire for change in that particular direction.  Now that it contacted the 
mothership and installed gcc and friends I don't think it'll be needed in the 
future but then again it might.  If so then I'll probably set up something on 
the LAN to take care of those sorts of issues.  We'll see.

 NB> it seems their latest stuff is dated back to February

Take a looksee in http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/development/ 
and http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/systemd/ for the latest and 
greatest documentation.  They don't do so-called stable releases that often.  I 
heard a rumour that a stable release is in the works but I'd bet they are 
waiting until the glibc and gcc releases are official and successfully compiled 
first.  The development docs can also be read online which is handy.

I don't have the inside track but that is my best guesstimation.

Life is good,
Maurice
