Here is some information I have used as background.

The above seems thorough, but is murky in some ways - refs to apply the
previous formula when there are more than one. I also seem to recall
that Brian J. Smith had posted something on this. Maybe searching the
archives? I hope my memory's not wrong, searches can *eat* time. He also
has a blog and it would be referenced in archives too I think.
I seem to remember that there was a post of a very easy formula posted
in the LinuxFromScratch archives long ago. Googling there with
site:linuxfromscratch.org
as one of the args might find that as well.
