Shadow installation text

2005-07-23 Thread Randy McMurchy
Hi all, Noted in the "Installed Programs" section of the 6.1 stable LFS book Shadow-4.0.9 section is that it says the 'groups' program is installed. However, we don't install this program because there's a sed command performed during the installation that inhibits the installation. I did not ch

Reference site for binutils test results ?

Issue with PCH and 2.6.12 kernel

2005-07-23 Thread Greg Schafer
Hi I haven't seen this mentioned on the LFS lists so I'm bringing it up here for your info.. LFS is certainly affected. 2.6.12 kernel introduced a new feature called "address space randomization" and it's switched on by default. AFAICT, this is the same thing that Red Hat calls "exec-shield-rando

GCC4 ch. 6: compiler produces unrunnable binaries
