    2323    <para>Having helped out with Linux From Scratch for a short time, I
    2424    noticed that we were getting many queries as to how to do things beyond
    25     the base LFS system.  At the time, the only assistance specifically offered 
    26     relating to LFS were the LFS hints (<ulink url="&hints-root;"/>). 
    27     Most of the LFS hints are extremely good and well written 
    28     but I (and others) could still see a need for more comprehensive help to 
     25    the base LFS system.  At the time, the only assistance specifically offered

    34     you with enough information to not only manage to build your ystem up to
