This is the first release candidate on the road to LFS-6.8. It includes numerous changes to LFS-6.7 (including updates to Linux-2.6.37, GCC-4.5.2, Glibc-2.13 and security fixes). It also includes editorial work on the explanatory material throughout the book, improving both the clarity and accuracy of the text. We encourage all users to read through this release of the book and test the instructions so that we can make the final release as good as possible. You can read the book online [0], or download to read locally [1]. Please direct any comments about this release to the LFS development team at lfs-dev@linuxfromscratch.org. Please note that registration for the lfs-dev mailing list is required to avoid junk email. Regards, Matt.

6.8-rc1: typo(?): sec-7.5 console.
version: Linux From Scratch - Version SVN-20110216 section: 7.5. Configuring the Linux Console Second para begins: The console and consolelog script reads the /etc/sysconfig/console file ... Should that instead read: The console and consolelog scripts read the /etc/sysconfig/console file ... - i.e. change from 'script reads' to 'scripts read' ? rgds, akh -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
6.8-rc1: incomplete explanation(?): sec-7.4 setclock
version: Version SVN-20110216 section: 7.4. Configuring the setclock Script The test and explanation in para 3, If you cannot remember ..., is perhaps incomplete. The test seems to be inconclusive if the user is in a GMT(+-0) timezone (e.g. UK) when no daylight savings time is in operation (e.g. UK in 'winter' time): for, then localtime is same as utc. Adding a caveat on this would perhaps be deemed to take the page into too much detail; and besides, for such time-related stuff I'd guess ~newbie-folks often would need /or want to dig a bit further than the book's level of detail anyway. Otoh, the page does try to go into some detail; in which case it may be worthwhile to try to make it more complete. rgds, akh -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
6.8-rc1: minor fixups
I found two minor things ... 1. The upgrades to newer versions of IPRoute2 and Readline are not mentioned on the What's new page. 2. The description of grub-mkrescue in 6.44. GRUB-1.98 should may be updated to Make a bootable image of GRUB suitable for a floppy disk or a CD.

sed matches too much? - sec-7.10 custom symlinks
ver:SVN-20110216 sec:7.10. Creating Custom Symlinks to Devices In sub-section '7.10.1.

Argh, the rules changed. That one wasn't there when the sed was written. As for the sed, I think the backreferences are getting a bit complicated. Maybe it'd be simpler to just do something like this: s/write_cd_rules/write_cd_rules mode/ Alternately, maybe match on GENERATED before the substitution, and rely on the fact that the usb/firewire rule is split across two lines? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
