+If, for example, a change is listed for chapter 5 it (usually) means the
+same change has been made in the chapters for the other architectures.

+Chapter 4: Tell the user to use cfdisk rather than fdisk. The fdisk man
+page recommends cfdisk over fdisk because it's more stable.

+Chapter 5: Added static mawk, texinfo and partially gettext to faciliate
+the move of Glibc from Chapter 5 to Chapter 6.

+Chapter 5: Added Makedev to chapter 5. We don't create the device files
+here, only copy the MAKEDEV script and make a temp copy which will be
+used to create device files. This second file (MAKEDEV-temp) doesn't
+contain user names and group names but only user id's and group id's. We
+need a few device files to get Glibc installed, but before GLibc is
+installed user and group names are not recognized yet; only the numeric
+id's. This requires a slightly modified MAKEDEV script which will be
+generated by patching the original one. This patching is done here in
+chapter 5. Also, fixed the explanations on both makedev installations.

+Chapter 5+6: Added the fileutils-4.0 patch which is needed to compile

+Chapter 6: Updated Glibc installation instructions. 'configparms' file
+creation has been deleted. No need to pick a compiler (either distro's
+native or the /usr/local/gcc2952/bin/gcc one); we're in chroot
+now so we'll use the one we have

+Chapter 6: Only copy the man pages from the ld.so package. We don't need
+the ldconfig and ldd programs anymore; Glibc-2.2.1 comes with good
+working versions.
