If you want to build the book yourself, the instructions I recommend are:

svn co svn://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/BLFS/branches/basic blfs-basic
cd blfs-basic
make

The output by default goes to ~/public_html/basic-blfs-book/


I have finished the initial editing of this book.  It is at the above 
URL.  I consider it a beta version right now.


The last round of updates merged System V and systemd sections with the 
appropriate designations.  This will mean that there is only one book, 
but that it is applicable to both versions of LFS.


I also finished converting internal references that are not in the book 
to external references to the full BLFS.


I intend to announce the beta on Monday and think I can make a 1.0 
(8.3?) release in about a month.


As always, feedback is appreciated.

[blfs-dev] Basilisk Browser

[Ken Moffat via blfs-dev]

In the past I've mentioned that I might take a look at Basilisk
(another fork of firefox from the Pale Moon people).  Last night,
with steam coming out of my ears over my problem with rustc and
cargo (hopefully, I found a fix today) I decided to take a look.

Seemed to have fairly-frequent development releases, so I downloaded
the latest.  Then I looked around to see what distros were doing.  I
found some not-current stuff in Arch's AUR.  Then, looking a bit
further down the search results I came to a link from an Arch site
to a github post, where the developers were *demanding* that people
trying to port it to Open BSD (where shipped libraries are not
permitted) removed the official branding.

https://github.com/jasperla/openbsd-wip/issues/86

(see the comment from 5th Feb).

After that I deleted the download, and I'm not going to touch that
project with the proverbial barge-pole.

I've made updates to Chapter 3.  I added some commentary and converted
internal references to external where needed.

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~bdubbs/basic-blfs-book/cmdline.html

Feedback welcome.

Thanks.  Will be fixed at my next commit.

There is spelling mistake in

,working in partial blfs.
"Interal" = internal
