[8825a2a]101<acronym>HTML</acronym> user manual. If you wish to build the user manual, you
102may need to remove the <application>OpenSP</application> catalog definitions
103from the system <acronym>SGML</acronym> catalogs. Use the following command
104before building the package to accomplish this:</para>

[52d29f7]116<para>libusb requires the usbfs kernel filesystem to be mounted on
[2d935de]117<filename class="directory">/proc/bus/usb</filename>. Applications require the
118files in this directory to be accessible to the user, sometimes for both
119reading and writing. To restrict access to <acronym>USB</acronym> devices,
120ensure the usb group exits on your system. If necessary, create the usb group
121using the following command:</para>
