It's not a matter of the book failing to mention some enhancement that's upstream in some later release or patch. To portray it as that, is maybe viewing things not from the original issue (book says x is installed whereas it isn't) but instead viewing from the ensuing discussion (about tabs being in a patch or new version). Instead, it's a matter of the book saying that an item *is* installed, when it *is not* installed. It's a factual error in the book. And I'd say that'd normally constitute an erratum (or perhaps more properly a corrigendum). Isn't there a post someplace that says such 'Contents of <pkgname>' lists are generated automatically; will have a look. akhiezer -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
