Thanks for the eagle-eyes Jim :-) I'll fix those up tonight. Just one minor point: > p. xiii: > "This package package contains math libraries" > should be > "This package contains math libraries" Being a speaker of "British English" rather than "US English" I would actually say "maths libraries" rather than "math libraries". I've never quite understood why Americans drop the 's'. The word being contracted is 'mathematics' (plural) and by the American contraction seems to be shortened to 'mathematic' (singular, which I'm not sure even exists as a concept, with mathematics being a collection of individual mathematical disciplines). Just a curiosity, and not intending to start language-flames :-) Regards, Matt. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
