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

  610. <listitem><para>September 21st, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 1+7: Changed the
  611. mailing list information to reflect the new ml

  615. Added --enable-threads=posix to chapter 5, and changed --enable-threads to
  616. --enable-threads=posix in chapter 6. Although the default is posix threads
  617. when

  619. enabled.</para></listitem>
  620. <listitem><para>September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc:
  621. Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit
  622. isn't installed) and man page. Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's
  623. configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin
  624. rather than /usr/bin (bootscripts may use them, so they must be in
  625. /bin).</para></listitem>
  626. <listitem><para>September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:
  627. Added USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin to the make install routine so that

  629. /usr/bin.</para></listitem>

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