Chapter 8 : Downloading the sources

Hi,

In this post/chapter we are going to discuss about downloading the sources required to compile for the new linux system.

We can get the list of tar balls of sources required to download from the location given below...


The list you would see is pretty long and it would take lot of time if you start download those tar balls in a piece meal manner.. We do have a short cut to download entire set using some set of commands given below...

$ cd $LFS/sources
$ sudo wget http://linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/wget-list

the above command would generate a file called "wget-list" at the location /mnt/lfs/sources which is again used as input parameter for the command "wget"

Now downloading the actual tar balls of the sources...

$ sudo wget --input-file=wget-list

Once the command execution is done, you can witness the set of tar balls of sources downloaded at the location /mnt/lfs/sources.
