Thanks.
Also, "it's" is improperly used, it should be "its".
You're right. You've got me bang to rights guv.
Additionally, (I noticed this in other commits as well), scripts and
other programs should be encapsulated in <command></command> tags.
I have tried to do that...but what about bsetroot? It isn't a command or a script on a
current BLFS system. It's what <command>fbsetroot</command> used to be called.
Also, (I fixed two of these in a previous commit), almost *always*
when you begin a sentence with "If", you'll need a comma in the
sentence to separate the two clauses. In this case probably before
the "then".
Yeah? I try to use punctuation to put over the way I'd say the sentence. I read
it through in my mind and try to imagine saying it, and then put a comma where
I would pause.
Lastly, it is customary to end the sentence with some punctuation,
in the case used above BLFS normally uses a colon.
Righto.

Again, the "if" at the beginning (even though after "However") means
that you'll probably need a comma to separate clauses. In this case,
after "themes".
Fluxbox loads the themes after the commands in
+ <filename>~/.fluxbox/startup</filename> have been run, which wipes out
the pretty

Again, "it's" is improperly used.
I disagree, in this case `it's' is short for `it has', the apostrophe indicates
the missing letters
And I'm not sure that "...DOH!" is
something we should be putting in a technical book. In fact, I know
it shouldn't be there.
Well we all make mistakes...
The solution is to comment out
+ the <command>fbsetroot</command> command in the themes like this (again,
as
+ <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>).</para>
Again, a colon is probably the preferred punctuation at the end of
the sentence as it is specifically setting to do the following
thing ("like this").
Thanks,
Andy
