<para>In addition to the above required patches, there exist a number of
optional ones created by the LFS community. Most of these solve slight
problems, or enable some functionality that's not enabled by default.
Feel free to examine the patches database, located at <ulink url="&lfs-root;patches/"/>, 
and pick any additional patches you wish to use.</para>
