Glad you enjoyed it 8-).

Take a look at several of the scripts. There are a couple of different,
styles, but most of them are similar. When you copy/modify a script, please
try to keep the style similar to make it easier to maintain in the future.

Sorry about that. We haven't gotten a lot of feedback about the process as
things are set up to make it easy for people to edit SGML without having to
get the DB working.
Please make notes, and suggestion so that we can improve the documentation.
FYI, I Tend to use root on my syste as well
LSBUSER=root
LSBDB=lsb
LSBHOME=/home/anderson/LSB
LSBDBHOST=localhost

More like an oversite. I'm the one that normnally uses those targets, and I
already have the databases created. This results in an error message most
of the time for me. Some way to check and skip if present would be nice.
