Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin rather than /usr/bin (bootscripts may use them, so they must be in /bin).</para></listitem> <listitem><para>September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux: Added USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin to the make install routine so that /usr/games isn't created for banner and it is installed in /usr/bin.</para></listitem> <listitem><para>September 14th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - E2fsprogs: Updated to version 1.24.</para></listitem> <listitem><para>September 11th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Man: Added missing && to 'done' and chmod the configure script to mode 755 instead of 700 (more of a default mode so people don't _have_ to be running as the owner of that file).</para></listitem> </itemizedlist> </sect1>
