So it looks like PEBKAC allowed the sanity checks to
be bypassed.
Perhaps a test script at the earliest needed points in Ch5 and Ch6
could be added in the FAQ that would provide a definitive
pass and fail status?
e.g.
if sanity_check_is_ok then
success_message
continue
else
fail_message
die
fi
and lfsers could be pointed to this FAQ.
It could use the tests you have put in the book
and others that may be helpful for support.
I would be happy to help with the test and
development if you think it valuable.
BTW - I worked out how to use gmane :)
Thanks,
Peter
