Now that you point this out, I'm not sure any of the programs in util-linux-ng 
are needed in Chapter 6 before we get to the final installation of util-linux-ng.

The programs are mount, umount, more, and mkswap.  The only thing I can think of 
that needs more is if the user is looking at man pages, but we don't install 
man-db until after util-linux-ng.  The other three are not needed by us within 
the chroot environment, but may be needed in one or more of the test programs.

So now the question arises: Do we need util-linux-ng in Chapter 5?
