can live with a
<filename class="directory">$LFS/static/libexecdir</filename> being created.

temporarily anyways, so we're not all that concerned with what it looks
like.</para></listitem>

installation of packages in chapter 6 to prevent hard-wiring the wrong path
(files from <filename class="directory">$LFS/static</filename>).</para></listitem>

<filename class="directory">/usr/sbin</filename></para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 2nd, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Procps: Changed the

in Freising, Germany</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>April 5th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 07 - Loadkeys: Added this
page explaining that you can remove the loadkeys symlink from <filename
class="directory">/etc/rc.d/rcsysinit.d</filename> if you compiled a keymap
directly into the kernel.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>April 5th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Configuring

kernel which has additional benefits.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>April 5th, 2002 [gerard]: Upgraded to
lfs-bootscripts-1.9</para></listitem>

missing package descriptions.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>April 3rd, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Mounting $LFS/proc:
Added <userinput>chown root.root $LFS/proc</userinput>. The recursive chown
operation in chapter 6 doesn't touch proc, so this'll remain owned by user
<emphasis>lfs</emphasis>. It's not a big deal, just not a very clean thing
to do.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>April 3rd, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Groff: Added a few
symlinks that are used by programs like <userinput>xman</userinput> and
others.</para></listitem>

installation.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>April 3rd, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Bzip2: Reversed the
<userinput>make</userinput> and <userinput>make -f
Makefile-libbz2_so</userinput>. This is needed so all object files are
compiled with the PIC option (Position Independent Code).</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>April 3rd, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Linux: Shortened the
installation instructions by cutting out the <userinput>make
config</userinput> and <userinput>make dep</userinput>
stages.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>April 1st, 2002 [gerard]: This is not a joke: Chapter 5+6 -
Gawk: Added a warning to never run <userinput>make uninstall</userinput> on
the package. It will be pretty much equivalent to <userinput>rm -rf
/usr/bin/*</userinput> because we override the <filename
class="directory">libexec</filename> directory definition to <filename
class="directory">/usr/bin</filename></para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 29th, 2002 [markh]: Chapter 05 and 06 - Updated to
diffutils-2.8, modutils-2.4.15 and vim-6.1.  Removed PR_PROGRAM setting

library description.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 21st, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Bzip2: Before we
move <filename>/usr/bin/bzless</filename> and
<filename>/usr/bin/bzmore</filename> to the <filename
class="directory">/bin</filename> directory, we first remove the
<filename>/bin/bzless</filename> and <filename>/bin/bzmore</filename>
files. On some systems overwriting the existing files doesn't work due to
hardlinks being used.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 21st, 2002 [gerard]: Appendix A - Sysklogd: Updated
the download location to <ulink url="http://www.infodrom.org/projects/sysklogd/"/></para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 20th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Configure Dynamic
Loader: Removed the <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and
<filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> directories from the
<filename>ld.so.conf</filename> file. They were
unnecessary.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 16th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06+Appendix A: Removed
the chroot dependencies. It's not a package so it's a bit out of
place.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 16th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 05+06 - Gawk: Added
commands to sed the <filename>awklib/Makefile.in</filename> file to change

<filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> too.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 14th, 2002 [gerard]: Upgraded to
bison-1.34, gettext-0.11.1, grep-2.5, lfs-bootscripts-1.8,
shadow-4.0.3</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 11th, 2002 [gerard]: Upgraded to
binutils-2.12</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 11th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 07 - Setclock: The text
here hinted towards the fact that you could skip configuring this step
which isn't true unless the entire script would be removed. So the text was
changed a bit to just have them create the file no matter how the hardware
clock is set up.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 11th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 07 - Loadkeys: Removed
the need to configure a <filename>/etc/sysconfig/keyboard</filename> file.

-Dre_max_failures=re_max_failures2 bug fix for glibc-2.1.x
systems.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 11th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Bzip2: Before
installing, remove <filename>/usr/bin/bz*</filename>. The bzip2
installation doesn't deal with existing files properly when making hard
links, so we remove the files first.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 10th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Configure keyboard:
Added section to configure keyboard keymap file by creating the <filename
class="symlink">/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/defkeymap.map.gz</filename>
symlink.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 9th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 08 - Make bootable: Added
a <userinput>cp</userinput> command that finds all the kernel images from
<filename>/etc/lilo.conf</filename> automatically and copies them to
<filename class="directory">$LFS/boot</filename>.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 9th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Man: Moved the
<filename>man.conf</filename> from <filename
class="directory">/usr/share/misc</filename> to <filename
class="directory">/etc</filename>.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 9th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 07: Added a page about
the sysklogd script and explain that the default script includes the
<emphasis>-m 0</emphasis> option to
<userinput>syslogd</userinput>.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 8th, 2002 [gerard]: Removed the Mawk package and
replaced with the Gawk package. This was done because mawk is no longer
being developed, while gawk is. Mawk has some POSIX compliance bugs that
are fixed in Gawk.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 8th, 2002 [gerard]: Updated to the following
packages: autoconf-2.53, automake-1.6, bin86-0.16.2, bison-1.33,

aren't recommended by the <emphasis>FHS</emphasis>.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>February 27th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Make: Added
commands to remove the setgid kmem bit from
<filename>/usr/bin/make</filename>. This isn't needed on Linux systems to
deal with the system load and it causes some other problems too that are
fixed by removing the setgid bit.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>February 26th, 2002 [gerard]: Upgraded to
lfs-bootscripts-1.6</para></listitem>
