I started reading LFS-BOOK-7.8.pdf and found something is wrong with
the pdf
formatting.
For example, in the transition from page xvii to xviii, the script is
missing the usual #!/bin/bash on the top and page xviii does not
have the
page header on the upper right hand side.
I noticed that text was missing before the program listing
(presumably the
bottom of page xvii) when I copied the text from the pdf to a file
that I
could run as a bash script.
I tried reading the downloaded file with evince on Fedora 23 and from
Firefox directly from your web site.
Can I obtain this book in some other format?
Don't use the PDF. If you want to copy-n-paste use the html in a
browser, either the LFS-BOOK-7.8.tar.bz2 or just read the stable
book online.
The pdf is not great, and html is certainly preferred. The problem is
that the host system requirements script, version-check.sh, is too
long to fit in a single pdf page. I've updated the pdf on the website
to add a hard break in the current pdf file so it now renders properly.
Note that this is a "stealth" upgrade in that the file name is the
same as before, but the formatting and file timestamp is different.
If you really need the pdf version of the book, try downloading the
pdf version again.
