This is a totally minor nitpick.  If anyone feels like it's not
important, just say so and we'll move on.  However...

-i.bak is just to cause the original file to be saved with the
extension .bak.  This is inconsistent with the rest of all of LFS
where the files are altered in place and no back up is made.  (Except
for early LFS where you can't be certain that sed supports -i)  Using
the extension is just something I got into the habit of from reading
the DIY book, but it doesn't affect the sed at all.

For consistency sake, should this go?  Or should it stay in the name
of teaching through examples?  I just don't want anyone thinking that
the .bak part has anything to do with how the source is being
affected.
