  170. Gawk: Added a warning to never run <userinput>make uninstall</userinput> on

  185. move <filename>/usr/bin/bzless</filename> and
  186. <filename>/usr/bin/bzmore</filename> to the <filename
  187. class="directory">/bin</filename> directory, we first remove the
  188. <filename>/bin/bzless</filename> and <filename>/bin/bzmore</filename>
  189. files. On some systems overwriting the existing files doesn't work due to
  190. hardlinks being used.</para></listitem>
  191. <listitem><para>March 21st, 2002 [gerard]: Appendix A - Sysklogd: Updated

  204. definitions</para></listitem>
  205. <listitem><para>March 15th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 01 - Mailing lists:

  215. <listitem><para>March 11th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 07 - Setclock: The text
  216. here hinted towards the fact that you could skip configuring this step
  217. which isn't true unless the entire script would be removed. So the text was
  218. changed a bit to just have them create the file no matter how the hardware
  219. clock is set up.</para></listitem>
  220. <listitem><para>March 11th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 07 - Loadkeys: Removed
  221. the need to configure a <filename>/etc/sysconfig/keyboard</filename> file.
  222. The kbd patch makes this obsolete (loadkeys -d is used
  223. now).</para></listitem>
  224. <listitem><para>March 11th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Gawk: Added
  225. -Dre_max_failures=re_max_failures2 bug fix for glibc-2.1.x

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

  561. <listitem><para>September 21st, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 1+7: Changed the
  562. mailing list information to reflect the new ml
  563. structure. The Ch7 change is that the rc and rcS scripts now ask people
  564. to report problems to lfs-dev instead of lfs-discuss.</para></listitem>
  565. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 5+6 - GCC:
  566. Added --enable-threads=posix to chapter 5, and changed --enable-threads to
  567. --enable-threads=posix in chapter 6. Although the default is posix threads
  568. when
  569. not specified, it's clearer this way what's being
  570. enabled.</para></listitem>
  571. <listitem><para>September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc:
  572. Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit
  573. isn't installed) and man page. Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's
  574. configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin
  575. rather than /usr/bin (bootscripts may use them, so they must be in
  576. /bin).</para></listitem>
  577. <listitem><para>September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:
  578. Added USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin to the make install routine so that
  579. /usr/games isn't created for banner and it is installed in
  580. /usr/bin.</para></listitem>

  584. missing &amp;&amp; to 'done' and chmod the configure script to mode 755
  585. instead of 700 (more of a default mode so people don't _have_ to be
  586. running as the owner of that file).</para></listitem>
