+3. PACKAGES INSTALLATION ISSUES::
+
+      In this section known issues with the generated build scripts are
+   discussed. They are due build procedures and BLFS layout particularities
+   than we can't handle. In some cases editing the build scripts is mandatory.
+   You may need also to insert some build script created by you to resolve
+   unhandled dependencies and/or to remove some script and install the
+   affected package by hand.
+
+   3.1  BLFS BOOTSCRIPTS
+
+        For now, bootscripts installation will fail. You will need to edit the
+     scripts for packages that install bootscripts and fix their installation
+     command. That could be fixed in the future, but not sure.
+
+   3.2  PACKAGES CONFIGURATION
+
+        For that packages that have a "Configuration" section, you should to
+     edit it build script to fit the configuration to your needs.
+
+   3.4  PDL and Perl modules.
+
+        The generated scripts for that packages are plainly broken and can't
+     be fixed. You must to replace it by your own ones or install that
+     packages by hand.
+
+   3.4  GCC, JDK, Sane, and KDE-multimedia
+
+        On the pages for that packages, the BLFS book actually have instructions
+     to install two packages. You must to edit the scripts to fix it. We will
+     try to fix some of them, but may not be possible.
+
+   3.5  OTHERS
+
+        May have other issues that we are not aware on them yet. If you find
+     someone, please report it to <alfs-discuss@linuxfromscratch.org>.
