<title>Introduction</title>
<?dbhtml filename="introduction.html" dir="chapter04"?>

<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. You can try out newer versions, of course, but if you
experience problems with those versions, use the indicated version instead.
Often there is a reason for not using the latest version.</para>

<para>All the URLs, when possible, refer to the project's page at
<ulink url="http://www.freshmeat.net">Freshmeat.net</ulink>. The Freshmeat
pages will give you easy access to the official download sites as well as
project websites, mailinglists, FAQs, Changelogs and more.</para>

<!--
<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 <userinput>wget</userinput> program will
make it easy to download all the files at once, rather than downloading each
and every individual file manually.</para>

the patches database, located at <ulink url="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches"/>, and choose any additional patches you might wish to use.</para>
