Found that the link for module-init-tools in the PowerPC book is broken.
The following link works...

Going through old emails I just noticed this one, Surprised no-one
reported this link broken.

That makes books for 1.1.0-rc3 wrong, too because well, module-init- tools has moved:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jcm/module-init-tools/README

I built for ppc64 a few months ago before Joe released 1.1.0 rc1.

We all did a bunch of testing, however I didn't follow the links in the book.
download-lists is what I used.

Good catch. Although, I'm afraid that more links are going to bread even before release and after release.

Nice to get them up to date now, but in the future, people can still download everything from known locations all around the internet and from CLFS archives. Homepage links are less likely to be valid than the links pointing to the files as most projects will remove the old version when a new one is released.

I'll look through all the links again before release is imminent. I think tomorrow, Joe?
