Hi all,
Unless there are objections I'd like to make the following changes to
the MesaLib instructions:
1. Change the "Recommended" and "Optional" downloads to be like all the
rest of the book and display them with full URLs (this allows to cut and
paste from Lynx, for example).
2. Consolidate t

I wouldn't say it as "is unnecessary". I think better could be
"can be omitted". :-) An

I'm fairly certain we don't count the tarballs. Check the Editor's
Guide. As far as logs go, that's really never been mentioned. I

a page in the book and immediately knows how much disk space is requ

Nope, not stripped. But that wouldn't explain Ken having 225mb
installed by MesaLib and me having 35. How many .so files are in

Didn't notice the book was passing -O2 and -fno-strict-aliasing. I

There's nothing you can do about it. :)

Randy has placed Wednesday, Feb. 14th as the release date for
BLFS-6.2.0. I'd like to ask people to take a little time to review the
book and look for any changes that can improve the book before
release.
I've created a new ticket #2242[1] to collect any small issues.
Patches are welcomed. See the
