If during the building of the CLFS system you encounter any errors, have any questions, or think there is a typo in the book, please start by consulting the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) that is located at http://trac.cross-lfs.org/wiki/faq.
The cross-lfs.org
server hosts a number of
mailing lists used for the development of the CLFS project. These lists
include the main development and support lists, among others. If the
FAQ does not contain your answer, you can search the CLFS lists via
The Mail Archive http://www.mail-archive.com. You can
