Given the lack of Cs to my RFC, it seems I might well have been the only person so far to compare the books from a "text" viewpoint.
We've looked at it before -- actually the systemd book was created from the sysV book, but the remaining issues of order are really meaningless.
In case it's thus of use, I list below some differences between the two texts that there would seem to be no reason not to rectify.
I looked at your changes for the sysV book, but it appears that several of the changes you suggest have already been picked up. The systemd book is now edited by a different editor and it is not helpful to mix suggested changes for the two books.
These are differences in the books that are not attributable to their Sysvinit vs Systemd nature. The differences are either typos that have been rectified in one book and not the other or English punctuation or syntax changes.
A lot of what you suggest appears to be style. The only change that I picked up that is, in my opinion, appropriate for the sysV book is the misspelling of the word varibale.
I've thought to list the Chapter and section as well as the line numbers, as I doubt anyone authoring the content will be doing so in the plain text!
The book is written in xml which is "plain text", but the line numbers you give are meaningless. If you want to help, I'd suggest checking out the xml as stated at:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/download.html That is, use: svn co svn://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/LFS/trunk/BOOK/ You can then make changes and use 'svn diff' for a better format. -- Bruce -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
