Description

  • Unfortunately, development of the LiveCD has not progressed recently and it only contains older versions of the source packages and patches (the versions not labeled “-nosrc” or “-min”), and this book.

+ The LiveCD version is behind the current book, but is still useful as a host for building the current book if you remember to use the current book, packages and patches and not the ones found on the LiveCD.

The new sentence makes it plainly obvious that the LiveCD is very much still usable. The old sentence doesn't say it as directly.

I forgot, 2nd paragraph 3rd sentence.

Since there is a LiveCD without all the source packages (labeled "nosrc") it might be easiest just to recommend downloading that, both to reduce download time and to eliminate potential confusion over package/patch versions. Of course, this suggestion should also be repeated on the LiveCD website.

Good point!

+ The LiveCD version is behind the current book, but is still useful as a host for building the current book. It is recommended that you use the versions labeled “-nosrc” or “-min” with the current book's instructions. I think Chris' idea is good. That new sentence should work nicely.
