You may wish to track down the revision via: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/timeline Then check-out the xml sources for that revision, via subversion (ref 'svn help co'): svn co svn://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/BLFS/trunk/BOOK -r "${REV_NUM}" ./local-save-to-dir You can work with the XML directly, or generate html &c via the downloaded Makefile; the latter might be a hassle. You might need to also get the bootscripts separately, in a similar way via 'svn://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/BLFS/trunk/bootscripts/' . Another option is to just use the nov-2012 blfs html snapshot, with lfs-7.2 : or does your build really need to start from lfs-7.1 ? hth, akh -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
