It would be nice to point out which packages you are talking about.

I know, I was just going through the book now - I only saw it a couple times and now I don't remember where.

I just found an occurence in the installation of "Fcron-2.9.7" - "The configuration file has been modified, so reloading the sysklogd daemon will activate the changes (again as the root user)." (followed by a command). And in copying-and-pasting that line I just noticed there are 2 spaces between "root" and "user"...

4. For packages that don't have a testsuite (and this applies to LFS as
well, which is why I CC'd the lfs-dev list for this message) many times
the book says "This package does not have a testsuite" but other times
it doesn't say anything at all. There should be some consistency here.


This is slowly being addressed in BLFS.
