<para>Below is a list of all the packages that are needed to download for
|
|
building the basic system. The version numbers printed correspond to versions of
|
|
the software that is known to work and which this book is based on.
|
|
If you
|
|
experience problems which you can't solve yourself, then please download the
|
|
version that
|
|
is assumed in this book (in case you downloaded a newer version).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>All the URL's below are to the ftp.linuxfromscratch.org server. We
|
|
have a couple of FTP mirrors available from which you can download the
|
|
files as well. The addresses of the mirror sites can be found in
|
|
<xref linkend="ch01-version"/>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>We have provided a list of official download sites of the packages below
|
|
in <xref linkend="appendixa"/>. The LFS FTP archive only
|
|
contains the versions of packages that are recommended for use in this book.
|
|
You can check the official sites in Appendix A to determine whether a newer
|
|
package is available. If you do download a newer package, we would
|
|
appreciate hearing whether you were able to install the package using this
|
|
book's instructions or not.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Please note that all files downloaded from the LFS FTP archive are files
|
|
compressed with bzip2 instead of gz. If you don't know how to
|
|
handle bz2 files, check out <xref linkend="ch02-install"/>.</para>
