Craig,

I see nothing accusatory in my post.  A preparatory clarification that
I ment no disrespect, followed by a statement of fact.

I'm not sure how much clearer I could have been.  I said "the book
says follow this link to install pmount package" and there is no
package there.

The written word often misses its intent.

The "LFS gods" and "venturing off the established path" was an attempt at humor.
