1.5. Resources

1.5.1. FAQ

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/.

1.5.2. IRC

Several members of the LFS community offer assistance on our community IRC server. Before you utilize this mode of support, we ask that you've at least checked the LFS FAQ and the mailing list archives 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.

1.5.3. Mailing lists

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.

1.5.4. News server

All the mailing lists hosted at linuxfromscratch.org are also accessible via the NNTP server. All messages posted to a mailing list will be copied to the correspondent newsgroup, and vice versa.

The news server can be reached at news.linuxfromscratch.org.

1.5.5. Mirror sites

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.

1.5.6. Contact information

Please direct your all your questions and comments to one of the LFS mailing lists (see above).
