Hi all,
Looking at the tickets in Trac, there are a couple that
really aren't SVN issues, but instead point to the stable
book in which case to resolve the issues, it takes an
entry in the stable errata.
Therefore, I think that someone with Trac rights should
create a milestone called "Errata".
Hi all,
Please reference http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2181
In this ticket there are 3 issues I'd like to address so we can
close this ticket.
Issue 1:
The /usr/bin/wall program from Sysvinit program is overwritten
during the Util-linux-ng installation. Choices are:
1. Not worry

Hi all,
Noted in DJ's book that he adds the installation of VIM to
Chapter 5. I do the same on my builds as well.
However, I believe I remember that the community's consensus
is that it not be there.
Thoughts from others?

Well, I was running through the book sequentially starting in

Hi all,
I'm way on the downhill side of getting all the package
updates in. Groff is sort of a bugaboo, however. The
DJ book uses the Groff-UTF8 package, but I'm not sure it
does much.
Please give some input if you have any on this subject.
It would be an addition to LFS Chapter 6. Do we need it?
