+9) Chapter 6, glibc: after copying pt_chown set mode 4755 on it (Glibc
doesn't do this because it failed to copy pt_chown. It tried to chown
root it which failed because glibc wasn't fully installed yet)

install-info (on Debian systems for example) it can be safely
ignored.

commands in sequence like with any other package and explain below
in the "command explanations"

systems, check if this affects && (the message is Error 2 (ignored)
but does that mean the return value is set to 0 as well...)

normal due to missing /etc/services|protocols files which are

+19) Don't use \u in PS1 when entering chroot to avoid the 'i have no
name'. After Glibc installation we could modify the PS1 (export
PS1=newvalues) and test that way if glibc is working properly. This
saves us the having to exit and re-end chroot environtment. Another
idea is to run 'id' or 'whoami' after Glibc installation and check if
it's able to find a matching username with root's id.
-* Instead of rm file && ln -s source dest, use ln -sf source dest
