 > willimmen, In case you haven't noticed your previous accounts have been
 removed. Maybe you should take that as a sign.
 Then DON'T EVER REMOVE ANY OF MY ACCOUNTS AGAIN!!!!!
 > You can not suggest that something should be put into the book without
 doing research into it. Installing Man-DB requires dependances that are
 not already in the book. As Jim said significate changes would have to be
 made in order to get Man-DB into the book. As it is Man supports most
 UTF-8 locales at the moment and we are working on the rest.
 The only package that needs to be installed also is GDBM, and that is
 pretty simple to compile, unlike BDB. The other change is that the Man
 page (not UNIX manpages, mind you) is to rework it to look like LFS's man-
 db page, other than the Man-DB switch.
 And why Man-DB instead of Man? Lots of reasons: man is abordened upstream,
 needs no patch to support UTF-8, supports bzipped and lzmaed man pages
 (very nifty for saving disk space), no silly seds for building, etc, etc.
 > Also please note that CLFS and LFS are not related apart from by name.
 You can not make suggestions simple because somebody else uses it. Please
 do more research before commenting on the book.
 Then I now know.
