the sed construction with a regular patch.
September 28th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Bzip2: Removed

explanation.

files are already in the /usr/lib
directory.
September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Man: Added
another regex to the sed command that modifies the
man.conf file. The added regex comments out the
MANPATH /usr/man line which causes for duplicate
results when using the whatis
command

Linux Threads Man Pages installation after the Perl
installation.
September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Create mtab

re-creating it as a symlink.
September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Sh-utils: Added
the sh-utils-hostname patch that suppresses the build of the hostname
program. This is done because the hostname program from the net-tools
package is superior over this version.
September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Gawk: Updated
the Gawk patch. It also changes the DDEFPATH directory
location now.

--enable-clocale=gnu option to ensure the proper
locale mode is used by the C++ libraries.

statement to edit less call, so SGR will work.

debugging symbols: Removed info. about stripping /static. Man: Added sed
statement to prevent groff from using SGR escape sequences.

software as an unprivileged user: Added $CC='gcc -s' to omit the

May 26th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 05+06 - Binutils: Removed
the tooldir setting from chapter 05-binutils, moved its description to
chapter 06-binutils.
May 26th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Gawk & Findutils:
simplified the installation by removing the libexecdir modifications. We
can live with a
$LFS/static/libexecdir being created.
The whole $LFS/static directory is
temporarily anyways, so we're not all that concerned with what it looks
like.

removed the cd / command and changed the two
chmod commands to use absolute paths
instead.

corrections dealing with removing the $LFS variable where it isn't
wanted.
May 23rd, 2002 [gerard]: Implemented the
keep_chap5_and_chap6_sep lfs-hint. Highlights of the change: added
findutils and util-linux to chapter 5, installed everything from chapter 5
into $LFS/static and re-ordered the
installation of packages in chapter 6 to prevent hard-wiring the wrong path
(files from $LFS/static).

in the HTML output.

symlink location of vigr to
/usr/sbin

cd dir && ln -sf commands to one single command
(such as ln -sf bash $LFS/bin/sh Same goes for
cd dir && mv/cp constructions which are now replaced
with constructions like
mv $LFS/usr/bin/{bzcat,bzip2} $LFS/bin
May 2nd, 2002 [markh]: Removed the "Removing old NSS
library files" section.

constructions.

libexecdir=/usr/bin to the make command to fix a wrong libexecdir path in
updatedb.
