  212. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Shadow: Added
  213. --libdir=/usr/lib to the configure script options. This way a proper

  215. <userinput>mv</userinput> command to move all the
  216. <filename>libshadow.so*</filename> files to the <filename
  217. class="directory">/lib</filename> directory. The <filename>lib*a</filename>
  218. files are already in the <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>
  219. directory.</para></listitem>
  220. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Man: Added
  221. another regex to the <userinput>sed</userinput> command that modifies the

  233. re-creating it as a symlink.</para></listitem>
  234. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Sh-utils: Added
  235. the sh-utils-hostname patch that supresses the build of the hostname
  236. program. This is done because the hostname program from the net-tools
  237. package is superior over this version.</para></listitem>
  238. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Gawk: Updated
