Hi! I have just started reading the LFS documentation and would like to propose the following [minor] corrections to LFS 6.6-rc1. They apply to LFS-BOOK-6.6-rc1.pdf and are mostly typos and some grammar mistakes.
--Jim DeMarco p. ix: "Some other facts about a 64-bit systems need to be added here." should be "Some other facts about 64-bit systems need to be added here." [The indefinite article "a" is should not be used with the plural "systems"] p. x: "a straight forward base Linux system." should be "a straightforward base Linux system." ["straightforward" is actually one word] p. x: "Examples include the Beyond Linux From Scratch (BLFS) some Xorg drivers." should be "Examples include some Xorg drivers from the Beyond Linux From Scratch (BLFS) project." [The original sentence does not parse well :-)] p. x: "Many people do not agree with the requirements of LSB." should be "Many people do not agree with the requirements of the LSB." [The definite article is used before "LSB" elsewhere in the document; it should also be used here for consistency] p. x: "Packages supplied by LFS needed to satisfy LSB Requirements" should be "Packages supplied by LFS needed to satisfy the LSB Requirements" [Same as above] p. x: "Packages supplied by BLFS needed to satisfy LSB Requirements" should be "Packages supplied by BLFS needed to satisfy the LSB Requirements" [Same as above] p. xi: "Packages not supplied by LFS or BLFS needed to satisfy LSB Requirements" should be "Packages not supplied by LFS or BLFS needed to satisfy the LSB Requirements" [Same as above] p. xiii: "This package package contains math libraries" should be "This package contains math libraries" ["package" was duplicated] p. xiv: "This package a program for modifying or creating files by applying a patch file" should be "This package contains a program for modifying or creating files by applying a patch file" ["contains" was omitted] p. xiv: "This package provides the init program which it the parent" should be "This package provides the init program, which is the parent" [Added comma and fixed typo: "it" --> "is"] -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
