815	No packages of glibc-2.3.3 on gnu site	mwh@…	lfs-book@…	"The glibc instructions is a bit wrong and also missing some description.

On this page: http://lfs.oregonstate.edu/lfs/view/cvs/chapter05/glibc.html
This snippet is wrong:

Official download location for Glibc (2.3.3): 
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/

The latest package on that site is 2.3.2

Maybe there could be a description of how to suck down the cvs version. And how
to find out which is the latest version.

On this page: http://lfs.oregonstate.edu/lfs/view/cvs/chapter06/glibc.html
The same as the above applies and further the configure switch:
--without-cvs
Is not explained.

It could be explained like this:

--without-cvs: This is meant to prevent the Makefiles from attempting automatic
CVS checkouts when using a CVS snapshot. But it's not actually needed these
days. We use it because it suppresses an annoying but harmless warning about a
missing autoconf program."	defect	closed	lowest		Book	CVS	normal	fixed
