     5<para>If you encounter a problem while using this book, and your problem
     6is not listed in the FAQ (<ulink
     7url="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq"/>), you will find that most
     8of the people on Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and
     9on the mailing lists are willing to help you. An
     10overview of the LFS mailing lists can be found in
     11<xref linkend="intro-welcome-maillists"/>. To assist us in diagnosing and solving
     12your problem, include as much relevant information as possible in your
     13request for help.</para>

     32<para>(Note that saying that you've deviated from the book doesn't mean
     33that we won't help you. It'll just help us to see other possible causes of your problem.)</para>

     35<para>An excellent article on asking for help on the Internet in general
     36has been written by Eric S. Raymond. It is available online at <ulink
     37url="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html"/>.
     38Read and follow the hints in that document and you are much more likely
     39to get a response to start with and also to get the help you actually
     40need.</para>
