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?
