  218. files. On some systems overwriting the existing files doesn't work due to

  550. <listitem><para>October 12th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:
  551. Removed the USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin entry as it's no longer needed with
  552. util-linux-2.11l.</para></listitem>
  553. <listitem><para>October 9th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Kbd: Removed the

  559. installation instructions to fix a bug in vim-6.0's

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

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

  594. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 5+6 - GCC:
  595. Added --enable-threads=posix to chapter 5, and changed --enable-threads to
  596. --enable-threads=posix in chapter 6. Although the default is posix threads
  597. when

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

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