  787. instructions. The reason for the change is that a value of / will cause
  788. symlinks and installation paths to use things like //lib instead of
  789. just /lib. This isn't bad perse, it just doesn't look
  790. nice.</para></listitem>

  804. <listitem><para>September 21st, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 1+7: Changed the
  805. mailing list information to reflect the new ml
  806. structure. The Ch7 change is that the rc and rcS scripts now ask people

  808. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 5+6 - GCC:
  809. Added --enable-threads=posix to chapter 5, and changed --enable-threads to
  810. --enable-threads=posix in chapter 6. Although the default is posix threads
  811. when
  812. not specified, it's clearer this way what's being
  813. enabled.</para></listitem>
  814. <listitem><para>September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc:
  815. Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit
  816. isn't installed) and man page. Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's
  817. configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin
  818. rather than /usr/bin (bootscripts may use them, so they must be in
  819. /bin).</para></listitem>
  820. <listitem><para>September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:
  821. Added USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin to the make install routine so that
  822. /usr/games isn't created for banner and it is installed in
  823. /usr/bin.</para></listitem>

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