	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	Introduction
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	This chapter includes a list of packages that need to be downloaded in order to build a basic Linux system. The listed version numbers correspond to versions of the software that are known to work, and this book is based on their use. We highly recommend against using different versions, because the build commands for one version may not work with a different version, unless the different version is specified by an LFS erratum or security advisory. The newest package versions may also have problems that require work-arounds. These work-arounds will be developed and stabilized in the development version of the book.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Chinese (Simplified Han script)	For some packages, the release tarball and the (Git or SVN) repository snapshot tarball for that release may be published with similar file names. A release tarball contains generated files (for example, a <command>configure</command> script generated by <command>autoconf</command>), in addition to the contents of the corresponding repository snapshot. The book uses release tarballs whenever possible. Using a repository snapshot instead of a release tarball specified by the book will cause problems.

	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	Download locations may not always be accessible. If a download location has changed since this book was published, Google (<ulink url="https://www.google.com/"/>) provides a useful search engine for most packages. If this search is unsuccessful, try one of the alternative means of downloading at <ulink url="&lfs-root;lfs/mirrors.html#files"/>.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	Downloaded packages and patches will need to be stored somewhere that is conveniently available throughout the entire build. A working directory is also required to unpack the sources and build them. <filename class="directory">$LFS/sources</filename> can be used both as the place to store the tarballs and patches and as a working directory. By using this directory, the required elements will be located on the LFS partition and will be available during all stages of the building process.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	To create this directory, execute the following command, as user <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>, before starting the download session:
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	<userinput>mkdir -v $LFS/sources</userinput>
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	Make this directory writable and sticky. <quote>Sticky</quote> means that even if multiple users have write permission on a directory, only the owner of a file can delete the file within a sticky directory. The following command will enable the write and sticky modes:
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	<userinput>chmod -v a+wt $LFS/sources</userinput>
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	There are several ways to obtain all the necessary packages and patches to build LFS:
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	The files can be downloaded individually as described in the next two sections.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	For stable versions of the book, a tarball of all the needed files can be downloaded from one of the mirror sites listed at <ulink url="https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/mirrors.html#files"/>.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	The files can be downloaded using <command>wget</command> and a wget-list as described below.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	To download all of the packages and patches by using <ulink url="../&wget-list;">&wget-list;</ulink> as an input to the <command>wget</command> command, use:
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	<userinput>wget --input-file=&wget-list; --continue --directory-prefix=$LFS/sources</userinput>
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	Additionally, starting with LFS-7.0, there is a separate file, <ulink url="../md5sums">md5sums</ulink>, which can be used to verify that all the correct packages are available before proceeding. Place that file in <filename class="directory">$LFS/sources</filename> and run:
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	<userinput>pushd $LFS/sources md5sum -c md5sums popd</userinput>
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Greek	This check can be used after retrieving the needed files with any of the methods listed above.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter03_introduction — Chinese (Simplified Han script)	If the packages and patches are downloaded as a non-&root; user, these files will be owned by the user. The file system records the owner by its UID, and the UID of a normal user in the host distro is not assigned in LFS. So the files will be left owned by an unnamed UID in the final LFS system. If you won't assign the same UID for your user in the LFS system, change the owners of these files to &root; now to avoid this issue:
