November 30th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6: Updated to man-1.5j. Removed the sed which we had to use with the old version as the new one detects awk properly.

November 5th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6: Created new lex script instead of link to flex following comment on lfs-dev. (This is similar to what we do with bison and yacc).
October 27th, 2001 [markh]: General: Large XML Tidy-up. Shouldn't affect the book text or layout. If it does, something has gone wrong!
October 27th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6: Added reiserfsprogs-3.x.0j and updated to lilo-22.0.2.
October 24th, 2001 [markh]: General: Fixed a bundle of spelling errors which were reported.
October 12th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 5 - Kernel: Added explanation as to why we copy the kernel headers rather than symlink them.
October 12th, 2001 [markh]: Appendix A - Gzip: Added uncompress to the gunzip description as it was missing.
October 12th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux: Removed the USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin entry as it's no longer needed with util-linux-2.11l.
October 9th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Kbd: Removed the --datadir option, kbd's default is set properly already.
October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Shadow: Mentioned the http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/shadowpasswd_plus.txt lfs-hint
October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Vim: Changed the installation instructions to fix a bug in vim-6.0's syntax/sh.vim file, and added the CPPFLAGS variable to specify the global vimrc file as /etc/vimrc
October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6: Updated to libtool-1.4.2, lilo-22.0, man-pages-1.40, modutils-2.4.10, sysvinit-2.83, util-linux-2.11l and vim-6.0
October 2nd, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 9 - The End: Added the reference to the LFS Counter at http://linuxfromscratch.org/cgi-bin/lfscounter.cgi
September 26th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 1 - News server: Added reference to the news server
September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - E2fsprogs: Changed --with-root-prefix=/ to --with-root-prefix="" in e2fsprogs install instructions. The reason for the change is that a value of / will cause symlinks and installation paths to use things like //lib instead of just /lib. This isn't bad perse, it just doesn't look nice.
September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 5+6: Updated to e2fsprogs-1.25, gettext-0.10.40, linux-2.4.10, modutils-2.4.9 and util-linux-2.11i.
September 22nd, 2001 [markh]: Appendix A: Re-ordered the descriptions into alphabetical order.
3.0 - September 21st, 2001
Updated to:
e2fsprogs-1.24
September 21st, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 1+7: Changed the mailing list information to reflect the new ml structure. The Ch7 change is that the rc and rcS scripts now ask people to report problems to lfs-dev instead of lfs-discuss.
September 18th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 5+6 - GCC: Added --enable-threads=posix to chapter 5, and changed --enable-threads to --enable-threads=posix in chapter 6. Although the default is posix threads when not specified, it's clearer this way what's being enabled.
September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc: Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit isn't installed) and man page. Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin rather than /usr/bin (bootscripts may use them, so they must be in /bin).
September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux: Added USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin to the make install routine so that /usr/games isn't created for banner and it is installed in /usr/bin.
September 14th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - E2fsprogs: Updated to version 1.24.
September 11th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Man: Added missing && to 'done' and chmod the configure script to mode 755 instead of 700 (more of a default mode so people don't _have_ to be running as the owner of that file).
