Little spelling error

2008-12-03 Thread Marc Ferland
I hope this is the right mailing list for reporting spelling errors. I'm currently following LFS v6.4. in chap. 5.21 The paragraph: "This parameter bypasses the search for mktime in configure and uses the version in glibc. The is necessary due to a change in gcc that has not been incorporated i

Hi, I've discovered another very small error in the kernel installation doc (chapter 8.3, in LFS 6.4). The line: "If the kernel source tree is going to be retained, run chown -R 0:0 on the linux-2.6.27.4 directory to ensure all files are owned by user root. " Should be: "If the kernel source
