- <listitem><para>Chapter 9: Renamed the network-scripts

- </itemizedlist>
- <para>3.0-pre3 - May 12th, 2001</para>
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem><para>Added numerous FHS compliance notes. These

- FHS-compliant system.</para></listitem>

- "make PREFIX=/usr install" to "make INSTALL_OPTS="-m 755"

- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Simplified ln commands.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Removed prefix=$LFS/usr from tar's
- make install.</para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Removed --disable-nls from configuration
- of programs that don't need it (bash, diffutils, gzip, sed,
- m4).</para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Changed from "cd dir && make"
- to "make -C dir" (gettext-static, sysvinit).</para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Beautified the static link process
- for mawk.</para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Changed the links we create during

- file" into "ln -sf file" (in glibc, bzip2 and gzip
- installations).</para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Added a sed to fix a problem during
- glibc-installation. pt_chown can not be installed setuid root,
- because "root" is not known by glibc yet (kind of hen and
- egg-problem).</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Changed consoledata/tools to kbd, which
- is more actively developed, and less of a pain to install.</para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>Appendix A: Added the description of the Netkit-base
- and Net-tools packages.</para></listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
- <para>3.0-pre1 - February 27th, 2001</para>
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem><para>Converted the SGML source to XML.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 4: Tell the user to use cfdisk rather than
- fdisk. The fdisk man page recommends cfdisk over fdisk because
- it's more stable.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 4: Changed the wording to make it more general
- as ext2 no longer is the only used file system. Reiser for example is
- often used too now.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Added static mawk, texinfo and partially
- gettext to faciliate the move of Glibc from Chapter 5
- to Chapter 6.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Added Makedev to chapter 5. We don't create
- the device files here, only copy the MAKEDEV script and make a temp
- copy which will be used to create device files. This second file
- (MAKEDEV-temp) doesn't contain user names and group names but only user
- id's and group id's. We need a few device files to get Glibc installed,
- but before GLibc is installed user and group names are not recognized yet;
- only the numeric id's. This requires a slightly modified MAKEDEV script
- which will be generated by patching the original one. This patching is done
- here in chapter 5. Also, fixed the explanations on both
- makedev installations.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Recommended to install all the software
- while logged in (or su'ed to) user root.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Added the fileutils-4.0 patch which is
- needed to compile the fileutils package on Glibc-2.2 based systems
- (such as the upcoming LFS-3.0 system).</para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Upgraded from gcc-2.95.2 to
- gcc-2.95.2.1</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Moved Glibc from chapter 5 to
- chapter 6</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Changed libexecdir=/usr/bin in fileutils
- to libexecdir=/bin</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Updated Glibc installation instructions.
- 'configparms' file creation has been deleted. No need to pick a compiler
- (either distro's native or the /usr/local/gcc2952/bin/gcc one);
- we're in chroot now so we'll use the one we have</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Only copy the man pages from the
- ld.so package. We don't need the ldconfig and ldd programs anymore;
- Glibc-2.2.1 comes with good working versions.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Added the creation of the lex symlink
- to the flex installation.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Changed $* into "$@" in the yacc script
- during bison's installation. "$@" allows usage of quoted arguments
- with blanks. </para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Fixed the man page installation during
- console-tools' installation.</para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>Chapter 6: When entering chroot the $TERM variable
- inside chroot is set properly. This is accomplished by: chroot ...
- -i HOME=/root TERM=$TERM...</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Merged the different sulogin lines from
- the inittab file into one line.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 7: Fixed the delays in the killproc function
- in the functions script. Now after kill, first check PIDs, then
- sleep 2 if needed. More details can be read in the comments
- in the script itself.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 7: Added the explanation how the runlevels
- and boot process works when using the LFS scripts.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Chapter 10: Added this chapter. It contains "thanks
- and good luck"notes and suggest creating the /etc/lfs-&version;
- file</para></listitem>
