    10 <para>The <emphasis>--exec-prefix=/</emphasis> flag will cause the
    11 programs to be installed in /bin rather than in /usr/bin. The programs
    12 in this package are often used in bootscripts; they should be in the /bin
    13 directory so they can be used in the event that the <filename
    14 class="directory">/usr</filename> partition isn't mounted.</para>

     14binaries to be installed in <filename>/bin</filename> and not in

     16bootscripts, they should be available also when the <filename>/usr</filename>

    28 <para>It's up to you to decide if you are going to use the Sysvinit package,
    29 which provides a <userinput>pidof</userinput> program, or not. If you're not
    30 going to use Sysvinit, you should complete this package's installation by
    31 creating the <filename>/bin/pidof</filename> symlink:</para>

     31going to use Sysvinit, you should complete the installation of Psmisc by
