broken line in creating dirs script line 2, after var and before opt

[rjb263@…]

This is in the downloadable 3.0 version:

There is a broken line in the creating-dirs script - line 2, after var and before opt. It causes the script to fail complaining it can't find opt command, then can't find opt dir in line 18.

Easy fix in vi...

There is no broken line. It's your browser that's inserting a line break for some reason where it shouldn't do that.

This often happens when the width of your webbrowser's window doesn't equal the lenght of 80 columns if you were on the equivalent of a regular console window.

Also, most sane browsers will create a horizontal scrollbar if your browser window isn't large enough. Konqueror is the only browser I've tested that does not insert a horizontal scrollbar and does an actual word wrap. This is pretty bad of Konqueror but there's nothing we can do about it. The pages in the book are designed to fit perfectly on a 80 column screen (standard virtual console length). If a webbrowser doens't run in full screen mode, then there isn't a lot we can do about it.

Please get back to me on this one, perhaps something is happening that I have overlooked. If not, I'll have to invalidate this bug report in a couple of days if it goes by without reply.
