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

Code:

wget -i wget-list

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.
