I can find the books at the museum, but no one has archived the packages and patches, which is a shame. Most of the packages I can grab from the source of old distros like slackware and redhat and gnu ftp servers keep older releases most of the time, however, it's the patches that is the problem. So yes, the source tarballs with the source is needed. I'm archiving the current lfs-packages onto my array. I was wanting to build an LFS 3.3 system for my 486 for fun times, but... the patches are kinda missing. Also, I have the 4.0 CDs here, but the patches aren't present, but the sources are. Strange. Is there an old mirror that was never updated and is still online? haha Sincerely, William -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
