I'd like to request that editors try to find alternative sites to
sourceforge. If that's the only site available, please offer anduin as
an alternate source.
The only problem with that is everyone (including editors) do not know
where the main hosting
It looks as if the path of the hurricane is going to go right over my house.
This really sucks. I'm sure power will be out for days. Wish me luck.

Should I add xinetd back to BLFS? It's been saved in the archive
directory so it wouldn't be hard.
I think we should. It would be nice if we could support Samba's SWAT. I
can add it back if you like, Bruce.

If nobody has any objections, I would like to comment out the Errata page
from the book. Because a development environment does not have errata (if
something needs to be fixed, just change the book), there really is no need
for it.
Thoughts?

Hi all,
There are a few places in the book where long extended commands inside
screenuserinput tags are not legible in PDF output. Here are our choices:
1) Not worry about it and comment out the PDF generation from the Makefile.
2) Create files that can be downloaded instead of having to cut

I thought we stopped maintaining downloadable mozconfig files ?
I'm not sure. You would know better than I.
The list of UID/GID user/groups also needs to be fixed for proper PDF
output as well.

My thought is to skip pdf generation. I don't know that anyone uses it
and the book changes virtually daily anyway.
That was sort of my thoughts as well, but it would be easy to fix that is why
I brought it up. It is more than 1500 pages

I must really have stopped paying attention, I thought you were still
leading the BLFS effort!
I had been away for many, many months.
Anyway, welcome back! I'm certain the various projects will benefit
from your energy and enthusiasm
Hi all,
Could anyone get me up to speed on what packages have incompatibilities with
the Little CMS version 2.x engine? Thanks!

For things in the book, the last person to look was Andy. Google
finds his comments on the gimp and poppler. Then he pointed to a
debian patch for poppler. I think we've upgraded both since then,
it looks as if poppler can now use lcms2.
