June 3rd, 2002 [timothy] Chapter 01 – FAQ: edited to include reporting typos.

May 31st, 2002 [gerard] Chapter 05 – Findutils: Added the CPPFLAGS...re_max_failures fix which is needed on Glibc-2.1 systems.

May 30th, 2002 [markh]: Chapter 05 & 06 – Update to binutils-2.12.1.

May 30th, 2002 [markh]: Chapter 05 – Bash: Removed section about «last two commands executing anyways» because we no longer have the commands referred to there.

May 30th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 – Glibc: Replaced the various sed fixes with a regular patch.

May 30th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 – Gawk: Replaced the sed fix with a regular patch.

May 30th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 05 – Fileutils: Replaced the sed fix with a regular patch.

May 30th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 – Ed: Replaced the sed fix with a regular patch.

May 28th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 – Changing ownership: removed the explicit command to chown /lost+found. This is done by the first command now that proc isn't mounted anymore in chapter 5.

May 27th, 2002 [gerard]: Upgraded to ncurses-5.2-2.patch (this patch is smaller than the previously used one).

May 26th, 2002 [gerard]: Upgraded to: automake-1.6.1, bin86-0.16.3, file-3.38, gawk-3.1.1, gcc-3.1, gettext-0.11.2, modutils-2.4.16, psmisc-21 and util-linux-2.11r. Added gcc-3.1 compile fix patches for ncurses, perl and vim.

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.

May 26th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 – Creating Directories: removed the cd / command and changed the two chmod commands to use absolute paths instead.

May 25th, 2002 [markh]: Chapter 06 – Some minor 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).

May 2nd, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 – Procps: Changed the two single quotes to two double quotes (the two single quotes can be mistaken for one double quote which will cause an error).

May 2nd, 2002 [gerard]: Changed the 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
