<listitem><para>May 28th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Changing ownership:
removed the explicit command to chown <filename

simplified the installation by removing the libexecdir modifications. We
can live with a
<filename class="directory">$LFS/static/libexecdir</filename> being created.
The whole <filename class="directory">$LFS/static</filename> directory is
temporarily anyways, so we're not all that concerned with what it looks
like.</para></listitem>

installation of packages in chapter 6 to prevent hard-wiring the wrong path
(files from <filename class="directory">$LFS/static</filename>).</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 2nd, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Procps: Changed the

<listitem><para>April 7th, 2002 [gerard]: Added a new mirror site located
in Freising, Germany</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>April 5th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 07 - Loadkeys: Added this
page explaining that you can remove the loadkeys symlink from <filename
class="directory">/etc/rc.d/rcsysinit.d</filename> if you compiled a keymap
directly into the kernel.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>April 5th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Configuring
Keyboard: explained you can also compile the keymap directly into the
kernel which has additional benefits.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>April 5th, 2002 [gerard]: Upgraded to
lfs-bootscripts-1.9</para></listitem>

missing package descriptions.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>April 3rd, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Mounting $LFS/proc:
Added <userinput>chown root.root $LFS/proc</userinput>. The recursive chown
operation in chapter 6 doesn't touch proc, so this'll remain owned by user
<emphasis>lfs</emphasis>. It's not a big deal, just not a very clean thing
to do.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>April 3rd, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Groff: Added a few
symlinks that are used by programs like <userinput>xman</userinput> and
others.</para></listitem>

<userinput>install-info</userinput> command to finish off the info page
installation.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>April 3rd, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Bzip2: Reversed the
<userinput>make</userinput> and <userinput>make -f
Makefile-libbz2_so</userinput>. This is needed so all object files are
compiled with the PIC option (Position Independent Code).</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>April 3rd, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Linux: Shortened the
installation instructions by cutting out the <userinput>make
config</userinput> and <userinput>make dep</userinput>
stages.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>April 1st, 2002 [gerard]: This is not a joke: Chapter 5+6 -
Gawk: Added a warning to never run <userinput>make uninstall</userinput> on
the package. It will be pretty much equivalent to <userinput>rm -rf
/usr/bin/*</userinput> because we override the <filename
class="directory">libexec</filename> directory definition to <filename
class="directory">/usr/bin</filename></para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 29th, 2002 [markh]: Chapter 05 and 06 - Updated to
diffutils-2.8, modutils-2.4.15 and vim-6.1.  Removed PR_PROGRAM setting

library description.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 21st, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Bzip2: Before we
move <filename>/usr/bin/bzless</filename> and
<filename>/usr/bin/bzmore</filename> to the <filename
class="directory">/bin</filename> directory, we first remove the
<filename>/bin/bzless</filename> and <filename>/bin/bzmore</filename>
files. On some systems overwriting the existing files doesn't work due to
hardlinks being used.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 21st, 2002 [gerard]: Appendix A - Sysklogd: Updated
the download location to <ulink url="http://www.infodrom.org/projects/sysklogd/"/></para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 20th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Configure Dynamic
Loader: Removed the <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and
<filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> directories from the
<filename>ld.so.conf</filename> file. They were
unnecessary.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 16th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06+Appendix A: Removed
the chroot dependencies. It's not a package so it's a bit out of
place.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 16th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 05+06 - Gawk: Added
commands to sed the <filename>awklib/Makefile.in</filename> file to change

definitions</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 15th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 01 - Mailing lists:

<filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> too.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 14th, 2002 [gerard]: Upgraded to
bison-1.34, gettext-0.11.1, grep-2.5, lfs-bootscripts-1.8,
shadow-4.0.3</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 11th, 2002 [gerard]: Upgraded to
binutils-2.12</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 11th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 07 - Setclock: The text
here hinted towards the fact that you could skip configuring this step
which isn't true unless the entire script would be removed. So the text was
changed a bit to just have them create the file no matter how the hardware
clock is set up.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 11th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 07 - Loadkeys: Removed
the need to configure a <filename>/etc/sysconfig/keyboard</filename> file.

systems.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 11th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Bzip2: Before
installing, remove <filename>/usr/bin/bz*</filename>. The bzip2
installation doesn't deal with existing files properly when making hard
links, so we remove the files first.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 10th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Configure keyboard:
Added section to configure keyboard keymap file by creating the <filename
class="symlink">/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/defkeymap.map.gz</filename>
symlink.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 9th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 08 - Make bootable: Added

<filename>/etc/lilo.conf</filename> automatically and copies them to
<filename class="directory">$LFS/boot</filename>.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 9th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Man: Moved the
<filename>man.conf</filename> from <filename
class="directory">/usr/share/misc</filename> to <filename
class="directory">/etc</filename>.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 9th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 07: Added a page about
the sysklogd script and explain that the default script includes the
<emphasis>-m 0</emphasis> option to
<userinput>syslogd</userinput>.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 8th, 2002 [gerard]: Removed the Mawk package and
replaced with the Gawk package. This was done because mawk is no longer
being developed, while gawk is. Mawk has some POSIX compliance bugs that
are fixed in Gawk.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>March 8th, 2002 [gerard]: Updated to the following
packages: autoconf-2.53, automake-1.6, bin86-0.16.2, bison-1.33,

<listitem><para>March 1st, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Creating
directories: Removed the <filename class="directory">/usr/var</filename>

aren't recommended by the <emphasis>FHS</emphasis>.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>February 27th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Make: Added
commands to remove the setgid kmem bit from
<filename>/usr/bin/make</filename>. This isn't needed on Linux systems to
deal with the system load and it causes some other problems too that are
fixed by removing the setgid bit.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>February 26th, 2002 [gerard]: Upgraded to
lfs-bootscripts-1.6</para></listitem>

/bin/gzip.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>February 10th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 5 + 6: Moved
additional programs to the ($LFS)/bin directory that are used by the
bootscripts. No programs used by bootscripts (except daemons themselves)
should be in the /usr directory in case /usr isn't available until far
along in the boot process (when it's an NFS share for
example).</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>February 6th, 2002 [markh]: Appendix A - All
descriptions now synced and updated.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>February 2nd, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Changing owner:
Added <quote>cd /</quote> so the leading slash can be removed from all the

way.</para></listitem>

lfs-bootscripts-1.5</para></listitem>

lfs-bootscripts-1.3</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>February 1st, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Glibc: Instead of

<quote>cross-compiling = no</quote>.</para></listitem>

x86.</para></listitem>

Rephrased the text a bit (it implied you can only mount the proc fs more

mrproper explanation.</para></listitem>

--with-root-prefix=/ to --with-root-prefix="" in e2fsprogs install

/bin).</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:

running as the owner of that file).</para></listitem>
