multiple partitions springs to mind. This is just a heads up to anyone
who attempts to do the same.
I like to spread my system over multiple partitions, and I typically

That's because 'package' is singular, not plural. You wouldn't say, "the

After just making the mistake of using 'testsuite' rather than 'test
suite' I grepped to find any other instances of 'testsuite'. The results
show that there are quite a few uses of this, shall I go through and
change these occurances?

For Grep in chapter 6 we apply a patch of Debian fixes. It seems,
however, that it is this patch that is causing fmbtest.sh to fail.
The unpatched Grep passed all 14 tests while the patched one did not. I
think that we should reconsider the use of it.

On the GCC page (chapter 6) there appears to be a slight error in one of
the text examples for verfication of functionality. Under the command
`grep -B4 '^ /usr/include' dummy.log' there follows the following text:

Gawk 3.1.7 was released yesterday. I think we should include this in

Under previous versions of Util-linux-ng we've always complied with the
FHS by changing /etc/adjtime to /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime. It now seems
that 2.16-rc2 uses /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime and makes the sed command
defunct. We can remove therefore remove the FHS compliance notes for
2.16.
