-<para>Below is a list of packages you need to download for building a basic
-Linux system. The listed version numbers correspond to versions of the
-software that are <emphasis>known</emphasis> to work, and this book is
-based upon them. Unless you are an experienced LFS builder, we highly
-recommend not to try out newer versions, as the build commands for one
-version may not work with a newer version. Also, there is often a good
-reason for not using the latest version due to known problems that haven't
-been worked around yet.</para>
-
-<para>All the URLs, when possible, refer to the project's page at
-<ulink url="http://www.freshmeat.net/"/>. The Freshmeat
-pages will give you easy access to the official download sites as well as
-project websites, mailing lists, FAQs, changelogs and more.</para>

-<para>We can't guarantee that these download locations are always available.
-In case a download location has changed since this book was published, please

-<para>You'll need to store all the downloaded packages and patches somewhere
-that is conveniently available throughout the entire build. You'll also need a
-working directory in which to unpack the sources and build them. A scheme that
-works well is to use <filename class="directory">$LFS/sources</filename> as the place to store
-the tarballs and patches, <emphasis>and</emphasis> as a working directory.
-This way everything you need will be located on the LFS partition and available
-during all stages of the building process.</para>

-<para>So you may want to execute, as <emphasis>root</emphasis>, the following
-command before starting your download session:</para>

+<para>Create a dir for the sources:</para>
<screen><userinput>mkdir $LFS/sources</userinput></screen>
-<!--
-<para>And make this directory writable (and sticky) for your normal user - as
-you won't do the downloading as <emphasis>root</emphasis>, we guess:</para>
--->
+<para>Set the permissions of that dir:</para>
<screen><userinput>chmod a+wt $LFS/sources</userinput></screen>
-<!--
-<para>For your convenience the top of the list contains a link to a file
-you can use with the <ulink url="http://wget.sunsite.dk">wget</ulink>
-program. Using this file and the <command>wget</command> program will
-make it easy to download all the files at once, rather than downloading each
-and every individual file manually.</para>
