to first chroot command in chapter 6
2) Chapter 5 fileutils, gcc, linux: instead of for example:
* Chapter 5 fileutils, gcc, linux: instead of for example:
ln -s ../../bin/install install

marks inside the search reg ex (sed s/"..."/.../).
8) Chapter 5, makedev: cd to $LFS/dev first, then cp to makedev-temp and

patch it.
9) Chapter 6, glibc: after copying pt_chown set mode 4755 on it (Glibc
* Chapter 6, glibc: after copying pt_chown set mode 4755 on it (Glibc
doesn't do this because it failed to copy pt_chown. It tried to chown
root it which failed because glibc wasn't fully installed yet)
10) Chapter 5, bash: add note that when error occurs regarding
* Chapter 5, bash: add note that when error occurs regarding
install-info (on Debian systems for example) it can be safely
ignored.
11) Chapter 5, kernel: Remove the exessive explanations. Just the
* Chapter 5, kernel: Remove the exessive explanations. Just the
commands in sequence like with any other package and explain below
in the "command explanations"
12) Chapter 5, bash: when the 'install-info' error corrurs on Debian
* Chapter 5, bash: when the 'install-info' error corrurs on Debian
systems, check if this affects && (the message is Error 2 (ignored)
but does that mean the return value is set to 0 as well...)
13) Check if findutils dumps binaries in /usr/local/bin
* Check if findutils dumps binaries in /usr/local/bin
14) Try out latest shadow suite. If it fails with "nflg undefined" change

15) Make a note that during the first reboot an error from sysklogd is
* Make a note that during the first reboot an error from sysklogd is
normal due to missing /etc/services|protocols files which are
installed when netkit-base is installed later on in chapter 9

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg* | grep -v ifcfg-lo)
do) needs some updating for example)
19) Don't use \u in PS1 when entering chroot to avoid the 'i have no
* Don't use \u in PS1 when entering chroot to avoid the 'i have no
name'. After Glibc installation we could modify the PS1 (export
PS1=newvalues) and test that way if glibc is working properly. This
saves us the having to exit and re-end chroot environtment. Another
idea is to run 'id' or 'whoami' after Glibc installation and check if
it's able to find a matching username with root's id.
20) Instead of rm file && ln -s source dest, use ln -sf source dest
* Instead of rm file && ln -s source dest, use ln -sf source dest
