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).

We have provided a list of official download sites of the packages below
|
|
in <ulink url="appendixc.html">Appendix C - Official download locations

</ulink>. 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 C 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
