<listitem><para>September 28th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - GCC: Added the

the sed construction with a regular patch.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 28th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Bzip2: Removed

default.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 28th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Vim: Removed

<listitem><para>September 20th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - GCC:

don't build a C++ compiler in this chapter.</para></listitem>

Removed paragraph about static linking since it seems misleading and is
covered in better detail in <emphasis>Why Static</emphasis>.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 08 - Linux:
Removed <userinput>cd</userinput> command.</para></listitem>

explanation.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Shadow: Added
--libdir=/usr/lib to the configure script options. This way a proper
<filename>libshadow.la</filename> is generated. Also changed the
<userinput>mv</userinput> command to move all the
<filename>libshadow.so*</filename> files to the <filename
class="directory">/lib</filename> directory. The <filename>lib*a</filename>
files are already in the <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>
directory.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Man: Added
another regex to the <userinput>sed</userinput> command that modifies the

results when using the <userinput>whatis</userinput>
command</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06: Added the
<emphasis>Linux Threads Man Pages</emphasis> installation after the Perl
installation.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Create mtab
link: Made the <userinput>ln</userinput> command an <userinput>ln
-sf</userinput> so the existing <filename>/etc/mtab</filename> file, created
by the <userinput>mount</userinput> command, will be removed before
re-creating it as a symlink.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Sh-utils: Added
the sh-utils-hostname patch that suppresses the build of the hostname
program. This is done because the hostname program from the net-tools
package is superior over this version.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Gawk: Updated
the Gawk patch. It also changes the <emphasis>DDEFPATH</emphasis> directory
location now.</para></listitem>

patch that fixes a locale problem that makes <userinput>top</userinput>

lfs-bootscripts-1.10</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Configure
Sysvinit: Changed the sulogin line to <emphasis>once</emphasis> instead of
having it respawn. This way it'll behave as expected (ie: a CTRL+D will
continue instead of restart sulogin).</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - GCC: Added the
<emphasis>--enable-clocale=gnu</emphasis> option to ensure the proper
locale mode is used by the C++ libraries.</para></listitem>

changes.</para></listitem>

Added re_max_failures2 for old host systems.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 2nd, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 06 - Bash: Removed
creation of sh symlink. Creating the bash and sh symlinks: Added /bin/bash

<listitem><para>August 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 06 - Binutils: cp
libiberty.h after install, as it is needed by certain software. Shadow:
