No more weirdness here.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Procps:

isn't needed anymore.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Ncurses:
Pass --without-debug to the configure script. It seems to have gotten
lost at some point.</para></listitem>

Bzip2, Installing Zlib: Modified build commands per bug #524.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Glibc:
Install the linuxthreads man pages, too. This got lost somewhere.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Grep:
Added --with-included-regex to prevent Grep from using Glibc's somewhat
bugged regex.</para></listitem>

Fix some functionality of the uname command with a patch.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Net-tools:
Just do regular old "make install" instead of "make update". The latter
works fine now.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing GCC:

added its patch</para></listitem>

installed with strange ownership or permissions.</para></listitem>

on systems where /usr is a separate partition.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing E2fsprogs:
Removed install-info commands for e2fsprogs. The "make install" target
handles this for us.</para></listitem>

gcc-3.2.3-specs-3.patch.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Adjusting toolchain:
Made it more architecture independant.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Locking in Glibc:
Made it more architecture independant.</para></listitem>

longer assume gcc-core and gcc-g++ packages are downloaded, so added
appropriate --enable-languages options.</para></listitem>

It's not needed anymore with the pure-lfs integration.</para></listitem>
