  797. <listitem><para>September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc:
  798. Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit
  799. isn't installed) and man page. Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's
  800. configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin
  801. rather than /usr/bin (bootscripts may use them, so they must be in
  802. /bin).</para></listitem>
  803. <listitem><para>September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:
  804. Added USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin to the make install routine so that
  805. /usr/games isn't created for banner and it is installed in
  806. /usr/bin.</para></listitem>

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