+  <title>Introduction</title>
+
+  <para>This chapter includes a list of packages that need to be downloaded
+  for building 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 not using newer versions because the
+  build commands for one version may not work with a newer version. 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.</para>
+
+  <para>Download locations may not always be accessible. If a download
+  location has changed since this book was published, Google (<ulink
+  url="http://www.google.com/"/>) provides a useful search engine for
+  most packages. If this search is unsuccessful, try one of the
+  alternative means of downloading discussed at <ulink
+  url="&lfs-root;lfs/packages.html"/>.</para>
+
+  <para>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.</para>
+
+  <para>To create this directory, execute, as user <systemitem
+  class="username">root</systemitem>, the following command before
+  starting the download session:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>mkdir $LFS/sources</userinput></screen>
+
+  <para>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:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>chmod a+wt $LFS/sources</userinput></screen>
