If during the building of your LFS system you encounter any errors, or have any questions, or think you found a typo in the book, then please first consult the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/.
Several members of the LFS community offer assistance on our community IRC (Internet Relay Chat) server. Before you utilize this mode of support, we ask that you've at least checked the LFS FAQ (see above) and the mailing list archives (see below) for the answer to your question. You can find the IRC server at irc.linuxfromscratch.org port 6667. The support channel is named #LFS-support.
The linuxfromscratch.org server is hosting a number of mailing lists used for the development of the LFS project. These lists include, among others, the main development and support lists.
For information on which lists are available, how to subscribe to them, their archive locations, and so on, visit http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/mail.html.
All the mailing lists hosted at linuxfromscratch.org are also accessible via the NNTP server. All messages posted to a mailing list are copied to the corresponding newsgroup, and vice versa.
The news server can be reached at news.linuxfromscratch.org.
For more information on a package, updated versions, tweaks, personal experiences, and so on, see the LFS Wiki at http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/. You can add information there yourself too, to help others.
If you need still more detailed information on the packages, you will find useful pointers on this page: http://www.109bean.org.uk/LFS-references.html.
The LFS project has a number of mirrors set up world-wide to make accessing the website and downloading the required packages more convenient. Please visit the website at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ for a list of current mirrors.
