-Chapter 5: Bash still had the --with-ncurses option which is a bogus
-option (it may as well have said --with-foo-bar). It has been changed
-into --with-curses (like it was already done in chapter 6)

-Chapter 5: Instead of CPPFLAGS=-Dvar=value ./configure during the
-installation of diffutils, grep and sed, we now use export
-CPPFLAGS=-Dvar=value && ./configure && unset CPPFLAGS. This was done to
-get things working on some systems that don't work well with that
-construction.

-Chapter 5 + 6: Added the --libexecdir parameter to fileutile's configure

-Chapter 6: Moved the installation of the man-pages packages as the very
-first package. This way we don't have to worry about files being
-overwritten by this package's make install. It will install all the man
-pages it has and as we install packages in chapter 6 those packages will
-install their own man pages replacing the files from man-pages.

-Chapter 6: Instead of using cp -avi to copy the files from the man-pages
-package, we use cp -dRiv now. This is almost the same as -avi, it just
-won't preserve the file attributes. The files from the packages would
-otherwise be installed not owned by user root but with userid 1000 which

-Chapter 7: Modified the startup function in the rc script. No need to

-anymore either.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 7: When something is killed using the killproc function in the
-functions script, sleep for 2 seconds before continuing to allow the
-kill to be completed (sometimes it takes a little while before all
-processes are terminated).

-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 7: When the print_status function in the functions script is

-return an error value of 1. This function is non-essential so it won't
-really affect anything when it doesn't run properly.

-Chapter 7: The print_error_msg function in the rc script now asks the

-<listitem><para>
-The LFS FTP archive has been moved to a new server which is reachable
-under the name packages.linuxfromscratch.org. The reason for the move is
-that this new server sits on a link with a lot more bandwidth to spare.
-</para></listitem>

-<listitem><para>
-Instead of having the reader create files by running vim or some editor,
-the reader can now simply copy and paste a command that creates the file
-in the form of <quote>cat &gt; outputfile &lt;&lt; EOF</quote> followed
-by the text to put in the file and when a single line containing EOF is
-read by cat, it stops reading and writes the file (not including the
-EOF). This will be handy to put in scripts so you can make LFS
-installations fully automatic.
-</para></listitem>
-

-Added explanations on the commands being executed to make it clearer why
-and what is being done to install the packages.
-</para></listitem>

-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 1: Updated the HTTP mirror list and added the FTP mirror list.
-This list is up-to-date as of November 14th, 2000.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 5: In the Bash installation changed the --with-curses configure
-option to --with-ncurses. This seems to fix bash compilations on
-distribution that don't have ncurses properly installed.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 5: Instead of having the user replace &lt;host&gt; in the gcc
-installation by whatever appears in $LFS/usr/lib/gcc-lib you can use a
-*. This won't be a problem because the * will expand in only one
-directory so the 'ln' command won't complain about it. This makes it
-easier to automate as well.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: Mentioned the -e parameter to perl's Configure script that
-makes the script not ask you anything after it has created the config.sh
-script.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: Removed the creation of the /usr/bin/install symlink - this
-symlink was already created earier in chapter 5
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: Added the creation of /var/log/lastlog where utmp, btmp and
-wtmp are created.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: When the yacc script is created in the Bison section, execute
-a chmod 755 on it so we can execute the script.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: Cosmetic change to the inittab file. Instead of using
-/dev/tty[1-6] as parameters to agetty we now use just 'dev[1-6]'. This
-generates a nicer output from commands like 'w'.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 7: Modified all scripts to use absolute paths instead of relying
-on $PATH to be set.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 7: In fstab changed <quote>none /proc proc defaults 0 0</quote>
-to <quote>proc /proc proc defaults 0 0</quote>. Upon mount problems you
-could get "none: device or resource busy" instead of "proc: device or
-resourced busy".

-Chapter 3: Newer verions were mentioned, but the links were still
-pointing to the older versions. Besides that I forgot to put the newer
-package versions in the ftp archive. Both have been fixed now.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 5: Instead of looking at the filename of the C library files to
-determine which C library your starting Linux system uses we'll obtain
-it by running <quote>strings /lib/libc* | grep "release version"</quote>
-instead.
-</para></listitem>

-2.4.1 - October 10th, 2000
-</para>
-
-<itemizedlist>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Removed the bash prompts from the commands. This will make it much
-easier to copy &amp; paste the commands from the book onto the command
-line. Typing them all out is great for the first few times, but it tends
-to get tedious after a while. You can of course use scripts to do this
-all, but that's not the goal of this book. That's part of a different
-project (alfs.linuxfromscratch.org).
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Swapped chapters 8 and 9. Now we first reboot and then setup networking.
-If done the other way around, networking programs won't work unless both
-the normal system and the LFS system are going to run the same kernel
-version, which often is not the case. Swapping the chapters eliminates
-that possible problem.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 3: All packages have been moved to download.linuxfromscratch.org and
-the links are updated accordingly. The official download sites for all
-the packages are listed in Appendix C.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 5+6: Moved the execution of localedef after Glibc in chapter 5
-to after you entered chroot in chapter 6. It was a mistake (the only
-real bug in 2.4) to put it in chapter 5.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: Installing Vim as the first program. In case you need to edit
-something you an editor available right away. This also caused a couple
-of other packages to be moved to satisfy depencies.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: When we use sed to modify a Makefile file we now run make as 
-<quote>make -f Makefile2</quote> instead of <quote>mv Makefile2 Makefile
-&amp;&amp; make</quote>.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: Added the <quote>publickey: files</quote> line to the 
-nsswitch.conf file. This is needed when you run a 2.4 kernel to login 
-properly.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: Added the /usr/bin/yacc script that runs bison with the -y
-switch to emulate yacc's output file name conventions. This is done
-because there are a few packages out there that rely on yacc and can't 
-work with bison (yet).
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: Modified the /usr/sbin/makewhatis script after the
-installation of the man package. The /usr/sbin/makewhatis script needs
-the AWK= variable defined to /usr/bin/mawk.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 7: Added the template script. This way you can easily add new
-bootscripts without having to write them from scratch.

-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 5: Everything from chroot and after has been put in a new
-chapter.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: Moved the optimization part to the point just before you
-enter the chroot'ed environment. It's a waste to use compiler
-optimizations for the static packages since they will be replaced
-anyways.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: To enter chroot we first cd to the $LFS/root directory. Some
-older chroot programs have problems when you enter chroot when your
-starting directory isn't inside the chroot environment. Also we don't
-execute bash directly in the chroot'ed environment, but we start the
-<quote>env</quote> program so we can enter with a clean environment that
-only has CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS set.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: A few people have had problems compiling M4 in the chroot'ed
-enviroment. Instructions are provided how to install this package
-statically for the affected users.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: We can't move the 'mv' program during the dynamic
-installation of the fileutils package with the mv program. So we copy
-it to /bin first, then remove the /usr/bin/mv one.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 5: Added 'make localedata/install-locales' to the Glibc
-installation. This installs the locale files that various applications
-use (most notable GDK applications) if you have an NLS capable system
-(which LFS is, but with missing locales it's almost useless)
-</para></listitem>

-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: Moved vim's installation before Lilo since you might want to
-edit Lilo's Makefile file to add compiler optimization.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: Moved the installatin of shadow password suit after sh-utils.
-Else sh-utils replaces the <quote>su</quote> version from shadow
-password with it's own version which shouldn't happen.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: Changed the way we enter the chroot'ed environment. We use
-the <quote>env</quote> to create an empty enviroment so that enviroment
-variables from the normal Linux system won't interfer in the chroot
-enviroment. The only variable set when entering the chroot'ed
-environment is the HOME variable.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Chapter 6: Because of the new way we enter chroot, the
-$LFS/root/.bash_profile file has been created that sets a few variables
-like TERM, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and whatever you deem necesarry.

-All chapters: Removed the &lt;blockquote&gt; SGML tags so that the contents of

-from the book into your files without needing to manually reformat the
-files to get rid of the indentations.
-</para></listitem>

-</para></listitem>

-Chapter 5: Added the /usr/bin/install symbolic link as it seems that at
-least one package (sysklogd) has the install location hard coded in it's
-Makefile file.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>

-Chapter 5: When gzip is installed and the files moved to /bin the hard
-link between the files is removed. So we just move gzip to /bin and create 
-a symlink between gzip and gunzip.

-Chapter 5: In the chroot environment: changed the installation order of
-a few packages who's dependencies have changed over time.

-(or after or before) the installation of it.
-</para></listitem>
