We sure do appreciate the effort, but it would be nice if the information was accurate. :-)
The very first package listed clearly has instructions how to test the build. Not sure about the others.

Whoops, missed that one, probably because it's mentioned at the end of installation. Pretty sure I checked that for all the other packages though...

I guess we're just going to have a pissing contest with the Hardware and Version fields. I set it correctly, you put it back where it was. And so forth and so on. :-)

Chris, the patch looks good. However, in the future could you truncate lines at 80 characters or less? There is one line in this patch that must be close to 300 characters. Policy dictates that we try, if possible to hold line lengths to 80 chars or less.

Oops, sorry...just copied-and-pasted a line from LFS...keep forgetting to keep the line lengths down. Will try harder. :)

Patch to add testsuite info to every package in chapters 11-18

The "BIND Utilities" section doesn't have any mention of test suites, but BIND does have one. What should BIND Utilities say? "See BIND section for test suite info", or is does it only apply if you build the whole BIND package?
