Dave,
 
     I wasn't quite sure about the architect.  I looked at the homepage but don't really understand it.  It looks to me that someone would install this on a system that is already running just to create compressed packages of installed binaries from source?  If this is what it does, does it grab the required libraries for the package also (maybe by cat'ing the ldd command) and add them to the compressed file?

Thanks should go to you for breaking things down in a less complicated manor for Newbie's. It has been a while since I have looked at the guide. What version are you on now? Any interesting future enhancements/adjustments?

Thanks for the favorable review. The guide is up to version 2.1. There were some pretty major changes after 1.2, so I jumped up to 2.0 and then had a few minor corrections for 2.1. I probably won't be doing to many enhancements since there's only so much space on a floppy. The next great thing in my mind is the Architect Toolkit [http://architect.sourceforge.net]. Architect will be geared toward larger, hard disk installations and automates all of the building for you (no more typing all those configure and make commands.)

Dave
