* errata: some reword about security advisoryXi Ruoyao2022-10-231-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | Do not use "whether there are any known security vulnerabilities" because it's highly unlikely there was none. Many people just build LFS for an experiment, then they don't need to maintain their system. The maintaining is only necessary for a real desktop or server system.
* Edited for style, idiom, and punctuation. Emphasized the need to continueDavid Bryant2022-10-211-9/+9
| | | | applying security patches even after LFS is "complete".
* prologue/why: paramaterize "eudev" with revision attributeXi Ruoyao2022-10-181-1/+3
|
* prologue/why: mention that less is used by many packagesXi Ruoyao2022-10-181-2/+2
| | | | | Why remove "used by man-db"? Now some user may think "I don't use this thing, I'll just use vim" and skip it :(.
* prologue/why: another "device" -> "device nodes" changeXi Ruoyao2022-10-181-1/+1
| | | | You can't throw a NVIDIA GTX 690 into /dev.
* prologue/standards: rewrite LSB descriptionXi Ruoyao2022-10-181-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Well, somehow this paragraph has become too imprecise. 1. We don't support IA64. Both Intel and AMD uses x86_64 now, which is referred as "AMD64" because it's first proposed by AMD. Intel attempted to use IA64 (which is a VLIW architecture completely different with x86_64) to compete with AMD64, but failed. Then Intel adapted x86_64. 2. The architecture specific part belongs to Core and Desktop. 3. LFS cannot conform to both AMD64 and IA32 because we don't support multilib. It's "or", not "and".
