-<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>
+<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="packages.xml"/>
-<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
-try to google for the package. Should you remain unsuccessful with this, you
-can consult the book's errata page at <ulink url="&lfs-root;lfs/print/"/>
-or, better yet, try one of the alternative means of downloading listed on
-<ulink url="&lfs-root;lfs/packages.html"/>.</para>
-<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>$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>
-
-<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>
-
-<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>

-
-<note><para>2) As of this writing, the Glibc maintainers have decided in their
-wisdom not to make available new release tarballs for download. The only way to
-obtain the current Glibc release from pristine upstream sources is to pull it
-from the Glibc CVS repository. The following commands will download the current
-release and make a tarball from it:</para>

-<screen><userinput>cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/glibc \
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;export -d &glibc-dir; -D "2003-12-02 UTC" libc
-tar jcvf &glibc-package; &glibc-dir;</userinput></screen>
-
-<para>Alternatively, we've made our own tarball available which you can
-download courtesy of the generous LFS mirror sites. Please refer to the

+<note><para>1) File (&file-version;) may not be available by the time you read
+this. The site administrators of the master download location are known to occasionally
+remove old versions when new ones are released. An alternative download location
+that may have older versions available is <ulink
+url="ftp://gaosu.rave.org/pub/linux/lfs/"/>.</para></note>
+
+<note><para>2) As of this writing, the Glibc maintainers have decided in their
+wisdom not to make available new release tarballs for download. The only way to
+obtain the current Glibc release from pristine upstream sources is to pull it
+from the Glibc CVS (Concurrent Versioning System) repository. The following commands will download the current
+release and make a tarball from it:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/glibc \
+ export -d glibc-2.3.3-20031202 -D "2003-12-02 UTC" libc
+tar jcvf glibc-2.3.3-20031202.tar.bz2 glibc-2.3.3-20031202</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Alternatively, we've made our own tarball available which you can
+download courtesy of the generous LFS mirror sites.</para>
