Hello,
I have my 6.1 LFS system built as per the book, and am now
trying to implement the errata. At the LFS web site in the
errata section, I find the following regarding Perl-5.8.6
vulnerabilities:
We advise upgrading to Perl-5.8.7 to fix the first
three vulnerabilities. The fo

these config files I cut-and-pasted from the PDF version of the book,
I must have done this one manua
Hello Linux Folks,
I have gotten a 6.1 system working. Had some trouble, but was
eventually able to work through it. But now there is a very
minor but annoying "feature" - tty1-6 all have a mysterious
'(K' just before the login prompt. I have never seen this in
