I didn't update the version entities correctly to stop the render-lfs-book.sh script getting all confused. Should be fixed now.

Hmm, but as Ken pointed out, 'locale -a' (which we point out on that same page) lists 'en_GB.iso88591', so I've a feeling us setting it to 'ISO-8859-1' may just confuse folks. If there's stuff out there that incorrectly expects something else, it needs reporting as a bug IMO. So, are there any compelling reasons for us not setting it to 'en_GB.iso88591'? Nothing wrong with it now (when UTF-8 is not supported), as long as we mention that en_GB.iso88591 and en_GB.ISO-8859-1 are synonims (so that people see both forms). But when we add support for UTF-8, we will have to say that en_GB.UTF-8 is the only correct variant (en_GB.utf8 confuses at least ncurses). Found a better solution (but please reword so that I know that you understand it). The list of all locales supported by Glibc can be obtained by running the following command: locale -a Locale names returned by that command (like en_GB.iso88591) are recognized by Glibc, but some applications may require different spelling of the character encoding name. To find out the canonical name of the character encoding, execute the command like the one below: LC_ALL=en_GB.iso88591 locale charmap It will print: ISO-8859-1. Therefore, the preferred name of that locale is en_GB.ISO-8859-1. Glibc treats that as a synonim for en_GB.iso88591. There is, however, one more issue I want to have fixed. On glibc page, we have two variants of locale installation commands: one is make localedata/install-locales, the other is a series of localedef commands. I want to express the fact that the second variant is the preferred one if the reader knows exactly the list of locales he needs.

testing - Section 6.11
I just noticed that glibc in Chapter 6 has the command: tar xjvf /sources/glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.4.tar.bz2 Using tar with old bsd style options is depricated. The tar info page says: Like short options, old options are single letters. Old options are kept for compatibility with old versions of `tar'. For educational purposes, there should be a dash before the options: -xjvf -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Addition to Chapter 25 - X window System Environment
I would like to suggest a comment in the referenced section, maybe in the Edit xorg.conf.new to suit your system area, regarding getting your wheel mouse working. Specifically, to add: Option ZAxis Mapping 4 5 in the InputDevice section. This might help people like me from having to google for the proper syntax everytime. :) Thanks! -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
