Hello, I recently started using LFS to learn more about Linux, so I wanted to say its really good! So thank you for writing it and thank you for maintaining it too! I really appreciate all the work that goes into it and Its helped me learn a great deal about a subject that has a great deal of depth.
Anyway, onto my issue: While I was working on section 5.5 (Cross GCC installation) I was getting an XZ decompression error, where the terminal would inform me that I didn't have the xz-5.1.3alpha.tar.gz utilities installed. Rather foolishly I got frustrated that I wasn't able to continue further, so I shut the computer down and had a cup of tea, therefore I no longer have the full error message that occurred. However I was hoping that you might be able to help me pull together a list of errors that you may have had with XZ or any other compression utilities so that I may cross check them with my error and inform the appropriate authorities. Once again, thank you very much for writing the book! Many thanks, Matthew Harrop
