#1576 closed defect (fixed)

/etc/inputrc text a bit long-winded?

Description

This page seems overly pedantic. Perhaps assuming /etc/inputrc and just mentioning ~/.inputrc in passing would be more in line with standard assumptions about the user's level of knowledge? Also, the book doesn't create /etc/skel. BLFS has a fine page for that at: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/skel.html

Should we remove reference to /etc/skel?

The suggested wording at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2005-June/051888.html looks good to me. As for your FIXMEs:

1) I think it should be "startup"; the hyphenated version appears to be when using the word as a noun, e.g. "business start-up". 2) Your suggested comment improvement looks good.

Thanks!

Okay. I've got the text done. Just waiting on an answer about <application> tags.
