Linux From Scratch help with chapter 3.2 (complete n00B XD)
 

Hi guys, i am an absolute noob to LFS. so far i have gotn to chapter 3.2 where i need to "download or otherwise obtain" all the packages. how do i do that? as in how do i get all the packages? im using LFS6.2 in virtual box if that helps. please help me soon, would really love to get this project under way ASAP :) thanks ahead of time.

okay, so i ran "startx" to get the the GUI and went to download the packages (experimenting is always fun) and realized they are all already there. but, if i have any other questions, i will post them to this thread. thanks

If you go to the official download page you will find a file named wget-list. Download this file and then use
to download all the correct packages.

Cheers

LFS is now on version 7.3 you should be on the latest version especially if only at the beginning.
