May 21st, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Expect: Don't bother passing anything more than --prefix=/stage1. None of it is needed.

May 15th, 2003 [timothy]: Chapter 05: Installing Patch: Added CPPFLAGS=-D_GNU_SOURCE before ./configure to fix patch build on PPC.
May 13th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06: When we exec /path/to/bash --login, also run set +h to keep the hashing option turned off. Fixes bug #531
May 13th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Basic Network: Changed the single quotes to double quotes in the echo command. Without it, $(hostname) won't expand which defeats the sole purpose of this command - to make Perl's hostname check work.

May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 & 06 - Installing Ncurses: In Chapter 6, symlink creation has been updated to include libcurses.*, and libncurses++.a has its properties changed to 644. Chapter 5 doesn't need any libcurses.* so those are removed.
May 12th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Basic Network: Added $(hostname) to /etc/hosts, without it Perl's hostname test doesn't pass.
May 12th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Installing GCC: Don't try to remove /usr/include/libiberty.h. It isn't installed in the first place.

May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Perl: Added extra commands to build certain modules into Perl. This is to accommodate the Coreutils "make check". Partially fixes bug #528.
May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Gzip: Nothing in Chapter 6 checks for or uses the uncompress command, therefore we shouldn't create it.
May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Bzip2: Running "make" implies "make check", therefore there is no reason whatsoever for us to run it manually.
May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Lfs-Utils: Removed. The only package that checks for mktemp before it is installed is GCC, and that's only for gccbug.
May 11th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - GCC-2.95.3: Added --enable-threads=posix as well to complete the C++ addition.
May 11th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - GCC-2.95.3: Added --enable-languages=c,c++ to fix that GCC's version bug with regards to -Wreturn-type. Fixes bug #525

May 11th, 2003 [gerard]: Updated to gcc-3.2.3-specs-4.patch.
May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Setting up Basic Networking: Added section. Create a basic /etc/hosts files, and create /etc/services and /etc/protocols from IANA. Fixes bugs #359 & #515.
May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Upgrading to lfs-utils-0.2.2. This adds two files needed for proper networking configuration.
May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Removed Netkit-base 0.17. Added Inetutils 1.4.2. Fixes bug #490.
May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Added lfs-utils-0.2.1. Fixes bug #493.
May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Ncurses: Fix up the symlinks so that they follow suit of other library symlinks. No more weirdness here.
May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Procps: Removed XSCPT="" cruft and its corresponding paragraph. This stuff isn't needed anymore.
May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Ncurses: Pass --without-debug to the configure script. It seems to have gotten lost at some point.
May 11th, 2003 [timothy]: Chapter 5 & 6 - Installing Bzip2, Installing Zlib: Modified build commands per bug #524.
May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Glibc: Install the linuxthreads man pages, too. This got lost somewhere.
May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Grep: Added --with-included-regex to prevent Grep from using Glibc's somewhat bugged regex.
May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Coreutils: Fix some functionality of the uname command with a patch.
May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Net-tools: Just do regular old "make install" instead of "make update". The latter works fine now.
May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing GCC: After installation, remove /usr/include/libiberty.h. It is not used outside of the GCC build tree.
May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Upgraded to Bash 2.05b and added its patch.
May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Zlib: Apply a patch to fix the buffer overflow in gzprintf().
May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Configuring system components: Moved the creation of the btmp, wtmp, lastlog and utmp to just before Shadow, so that they are detected at their proper locations.
May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Automake: Run "make" before installing. This is needed now with the newer releases of Automake.
May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Vim: Removed the patch. It hasn't been required since GCC 3.2.1.
May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Creating the mtab file: Removed. Mounting /proc has the side effect of creating /etc/mtab for us.
May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Make: Removed modification of /usr/bin/make file. It is no longer mistakenly installed with strange ownership or permissions.
May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Glibc: Made /etc/localtime a file instead of a symlink. The symlink method breaks on systems where /usr is a separate partition.
May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing E2fsprogs: Removed install-info commands for e2fsprogs. The "make install" target handles this for us.
May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Removed all CFLAGS and LDFLAGS variables where they are not essential (so, not including static binutils, GCC and compiling Zlib with -fPIC).
May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Binutils (pass1, pass2), locking in Glibc and adjusting toolchain: Changed tooldir to /stage1 (likewise we use tooldir=/usr in Chapter 6).
May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Kernel headers: Removed the usage of cp -H because there are distributions out there that do not know about the -H option.

May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Adjusting toolchain: Made it more architecture-independent.
May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Locking in Glibc: Made it more architecture-independent.
May 7th, 2003 [gerard]: Removed GCC No Debug patches. No longer assume gcc-core and gcc-g++ packages are downloaded, so added appropriate --enable-languages options.
May 7th, 2003 [gerard]: Removed Chapter 6 - Glibc-Pass2. It's not needed anymore with the pure-lfs integration.
May 7th, 2003 [gerard]: Downgraded to flex-2.5.4a again. Newer versions just don't work properly.
May 5th, 2003 [gerard]: Removed zlib installation from chapter 5 (its inclusion was a mistake).
