The CD used to use /sources - and a lot of the people building LFS of

only assume this has changed recently.
It was sources for all LiveCD versions 6.1 and earlier. These CD's
aren't available to download anymore (only at
http://ftp.lfs-matrix.net/pub/lfs-livecd-archive/) and are old and have
some bugs in them. If someone is using a 6.1 LiveCD to build LFS 6.1.1,
the sources won't match anyways. ;)
Yup your spot on, but no-one reads that, or if they do they assume
that because the sources are in /sources - $LFS/sources is the same
thing (don't ask!!!)
Wow, I haven't read that section in the book for a long time, I can't
believe I remembered that...
Before I drop the work on lfs-livecd's door to fix the users ignorance
I'll rethink this. I'm loathed to change the book as its written out
in black and white, and even some fancy colours for the HTML version.
Thanks for the feedback,
No problem. :) If there really is something we can do to make it
easier on the LiveCD, we will consider it. For those users who are
using a LiveCD version 6.1, they really should download the 6.1.1-3 IMO. :)
