The ldd man page doesn't actually correspond properly with the ldd program.. The man page gives the -V option which doesn't exist in our ldd (glibc-2.2.4) Suggest we try and find a newer man page (it's one of the ones we patch in) or preferably get the glibc guys to actually *include* a man page in glibc itself.. oOO(you'd think if they could write a C library, they could write a man page).. If we try and get them to put one in - also try and get them to add a ld.so man page at the same time..

BTW - The man-pages maintainer doesn't want to include these pages because he reckons they belong in glibc (which they do)

In Chapter 6 of the book where it describes the installation of the util-linux package, is it worth noting that the tunelp program doesn't work with the 2.4 kernel?

I've been setting up printing (CUPS rocks) and I wanted to use tunelp to make my parallel port interrupt-driven. I kept getting "tunelp: ioctl: Invalid argument" messages. After some research on the net, I found the following:

​http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0103.2/0030.html

which says, "tunelp doesn't work with 2.4 kernels right now. It's on my list of things to fix. Read Documentation/parport.txt to find out about how to adjust things like that." That message was written back in March, but it looks like tunelp was still broken as of util-linux-2.11l. Can anyone with the 2.11m version of util-linux installed confirm that tunelp doesn't work even in the latest release?

This is another nitpick, but if it had been noted in the book, it would have saved me some time figuring out what was wrong.

This is a program to tidy up the HTML code we generate.

We can use it with something like: for i in html html/chapter* html/prefix html/appendix* do cd SOMEWHERE/$i for j in *.html do tidy $j > $j.backup mv $j.backup $j done done

or some much cleverer solution which one of you will come up with :-)
