[2483c44] | 5 | If, for example, a change is listed for chapter 5, it (usually) means the

| 15 | We've (well mostly Gerard) been neglecting the changelog here a little
|
---|
| 16 | bit during the last few weeks, so this list isn't complete and too much
|
---|
| 17 | has changed to exactly remember what should be listed here (ie: what is
|
---|
| 18 | worth mentioning here). We'll be paying closer attention to the
|
---|
| 19 | changelog after lfs-3.0-pre2 has been released (which will be around
|
---|
| 20 | April 13th, 2001).

| 46 | Chapter 5: Added Makedev to chapter 5. We don't create the device files
|
---|
| 47 | here, only copy the MAKEDEV script and make a temp copy which will be
|
---|
| 48 | used to create device files. This second file (MAKEDEV-temp) doesn't
|
---|
| 49 | contain user names and group names but only user id's and group id's. We
|
---|
[2483c44] | 50 | need a few device files to get Glibc installed, but, before Glibc is
|
---|
| 51 | installed, user and group names are not recognized yet, only the numeric
|
---|
[c93a7a6] | 52 | id's. This requires a slightly modified MAKEDEV script which will be
|
---|
| 53 | generated by patching the original one. This patching is done here in
|
---|
[ee6b6fb] | 54 | chapter 5. Also, fixed the explanations on both makedev installations.
