  66. <listitem><para>September 20th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - GCC:

  69. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - Introduction:
  70. Removed paragraph about static linking since it seems misleading and is

  77. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Shadow: Added
  78. --libdir=/usr/lib to the configure script options. This way a proper

  99. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Sh-utils: Added
  100. the sh-utils-hostname patch that supresses the build of the hostname
  101. program. This is done because the hostname program from the net-tools

  103. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Gawk: Updated

  117. Sysvinit: Changed the sulogin line to <emphasis>once</emphasis> instead of
  118. having it respawn. This way it'll behave as expected (ie: a CTRL+D will
  119. continue instead of restart sulogin).</para></listitem>
  120. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - GCC: Added the

  824. --with-root-prefix=/ to --with-root-prefix="" in e2fsprogs install
  825. instructions. The reason for the change is that a value of / will cause
  826. symlinks and installation paths to use things like //lib instead of
  827. just /lib. This isn't bad perse, it just doesn't look
  828. nice.</para></listitem>

  852. <listitem><para>September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc:
  853. Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit
  854. isn't installed) and man page. Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's
  855. configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin

  865. missing &amp;&amp; to 'done' and chmod the configure script to mode 755
