I liked your first version a little better. I've never liked the passive tone of "It is recommended..." I also agree that we (pun intended) should avoid "we" in the book. :) How about: The default flags are changed to omit the -g switch so the build space and final libraries are much smaller. BTW, I certainly like to think that discussing the fine points of grammar mean that we have made a lot of progress with the book. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
