    23   in diagnosing and solving your problem, include as much relevant information as
    24   possible in your request for help.</para>

    4345        uses groups to make these settings easier, but it also adds the step of
    4446        adding users to groups to allow access. A simple <command>moduser
    45         -G audio &lt;user&gt;</command> may be all that's necessary for that
    46         user to have access to the sound system.  Any question that starts
    47         out with "It works as root, but not as ..." requires a thorough review
    48         of permissions prior to asking.</para>

    5255        The main objection to this centers around the need to expand your
    5356        environment variables for each package placed there (e.g.,
    54         PATH=$PATH:/opt/kde/bin).  In some cases, the package will walk you
    55         through the changes, but some will not.  The section called "<ulink
    56         url="beyond.html">Going Beyond BLFS</ulink>" is available to help
    57         you check.</para>
     57        PATH=$PATH:/opt/kde/bin). In most cases, the package instructions will
     58        walk you through the changes, but some will not. The section called
     59        <quote><ulink url="beyond.html">Going Beyond BLFS</ulink></quote> is

    9396    reasonable research on your end.  In addition, the quality of your
    94     experience with BLFS  is also greatly enhanced by this research, and
     97    experience with BLFS is also greatly enhanced by this research, and
    9598    the quality of volunteers is enhanced because they don't feel that their
    9699    time has been abused, so they are far more likely to participate.</para>
