The releases were always a little out of date (or very out of date!), and for the development book it has always been best to download a tarball of the book so that it doesn't change under you. Mostly, changing under you has only broken parts of gnome if you picked a bad time to read the book, but YMMV.
Nowadays we have far more packages in the book, so you are more likely to find many of the packages that you want to use, with a note of the dependencies. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
