  63. <userinput>mv</userinput> shared lib to /lib.</para></listitem>
  64. <listitem><para>September 20th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - GCC:

  67. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - Introduction:
  68. Removed paragraph about static linking since it seems misleading and is

  71. Removed <userinput>cd</userinput> command.</para></listitem>

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

  88. command</para></listitem>

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

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

  822. --with-root-prefix=/ to --with-root-prefix="" in e2fsprogs install
  823. instructions. The reason for the change is that a value of / will cause
  824. symlinks and installation paths to use things like //lib instead of
  825. just /lib. This isn't bad perse, it just doesn't look
  826. nice.</para></listitem>

  850. <listitem><para>September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc:
  851. Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit
