| #733 | fixed | Make mention of resolv.conf in the book | ||
| Description |
The LFS book doesn't define how to set up the system to resolve domain names. A section for this should be added. In order to resolve domain names, you must have a resolv.conf file in /etc defining at least one nameserver. Command below (<yournameserver> is the DNS server either on the readers home network or defined by their ISP, on home network with router to outside, should be able to use the router IP): cat > /etc/resolv.conf << "EOF" # Begin /etc/resolv.conf nameserver <yournameserver> # End /etc/resolv.conf EOF |

| #736 | fixed | typeface confuses vertical bar | with lowercase letter l | ||
| Description |
On page 99 of v5 of The LinuxfromScratch Book (installation of perl 5.8) the typeface of the PDF version makes it hard to decide whether there are vertical bars, the uppercase letter I or the lowercase letter l... which makes a difference to perl :) The line in question is: echo 'static_ext="IO re Fcntl"' >> hints/linux.sh The characters in question are the I in IO and the l in Fcntl (in fact, it wasn't until I cut-and-paste the line into this textbox that I realized the first character was a capital I... it looked like a vertical bar | in my PDF reader [version 5]). BTW, I'm really enjoying this exercise. Keep up the good work!

| #737 | fixed | grub-0.93 issues with linux | ||
| Description |
grub should be configured with: ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-auto-linux-mem-opt Without this, grub starts kernel with mem=xxx which is usually wrong and confuses linux kernels. In my case both 2.4.23 and 2.6.0 got confused and PCMCIA was not working. With --disable-auto-linux-mem-opt, both kernels guessed the memory correctly and PCMCIA worked properly. |
