<listitem><para>December 10th, 2001 [marcheerdink]: Chapter 5+6: Cleaned
up the sed commands to use the backup file that was created earlier instead
of writing to an intermediate 'tmp~' file.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>December 10th, 2001 [marcheerdink]: Chapter 5+6: 'make'
command for diffutils installation changed to 'make PR_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/pr.'
This bug was reported by Greg Schafer.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>December 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6: Change the
configure command from <emphasis>./Configure -Dprefix=/usr</emphasis> to
<emphasis>./configure.gnu --prefix=/usr</emphasis>. This is more consistent
with the installation instructions for the other packages, and the result
is identical to the old way.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>December 3rd, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 2: Added the Which
Platform? section.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>November 30th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6: Updated to

<listitem><para>November 5th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6: Created new lex
script instead of link to flex following comment on lfs-dev.  (This is
similar to what we do with bison and yacc).</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>October 27th, 2001 [markh]: General: Large XML Tidy-up.
Shouldn't affect the book text or layout.  If it does, something has
gone wrong!</para></listitem>

them.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>October 12th, 2001 [markh]: Appendix A - Gzip: Added
uncompress to the gunzip description as it was
missing.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>October 12th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:
Removed the USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin entry as it's no longer needed with
util-linux-2.11l.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>October 9th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Kbd: Removed the
--datadir option, kbd's default is set properly already.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Shadow: Mentioned
the <ulink url="http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/shadowpasswd_plus.txt">http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/shadowpasswd_plus.txt</ulink>
lfs-hint</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Vim: Changed the
installation instructions to fix a bug in vim-6.0's
<filename>syntax/sh.vim</filename> file, and added the CPPFLAGS variable 
to specify the global vimrc file as
<filename>/etc/vimrc</filename></para></listitem>

<listitem><para>October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6: Updated to
libtool-1.4.2, lilo-22.0, man-pages-1.40, modutils-2.4.10, sysvinit-2.83,

<listitem><para>October 2nd, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 9 - The End: Added the

<ulink url="http://linuxfromscratch.org/cgi-bin/lfscounter.cgi">
http://linuxfromscratch.org/cgi-bin/lfscounter.cgi</ulink></para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 26th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 1 - News server:
Added reference to the news server</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - E2fsprogs: Changed 
--with-root-prefix=/ to --with-root-prefix="" in e2fsprogs install 
instructions. The reason for the change is that a value of / will cause
symlinks and installation paths to use things like //lib instead of 
just /lib. This isn't bad perse, it just doesn't look
nice.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 5+6: Updated to 
e2fsprogs-1.25, gettext-0.10.40, linux-2.4.10, modutils-2.4.9 and

<listitem><para>e2fsprogs-1.24</para></listitem>

</itemizedlist>

</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 21st, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 1+7: Changed the
mailing list information to reflect the new ml
structure.  The Ch7 change is that the rc and rcS scripts now ask people
to report problems to lfs-dev instead of lfs-discuss.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 18th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 5+6 - GCC:
Added --enable-threads=posix to chapter 5, and changed --enable-threads to
--enable-threads=posix in chapter 6. Although the default is posix threads
when
not specified, it's clearer this way what's being
enabled.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc:
Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit
isn't installed) and man page. Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's
configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin
rather than /usr/bin (bootscripts may use them, so they must be in
/bin).</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:
Added USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin to the make install routine so that
/usr/games isn't created for banner and it is installed in
/usr/bin.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 14th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - E2fsprogs:
Updated to version 1.24.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 11th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Man: Added
missing &amp;&amp; to 'done' and chmod the configure script to mode 755
instead of 700 (more of a default mode so people don't _have_ to be
running as the owner of that file).</para></listitem>
