Where is the best place to get help?
When this FAQ fails to help, there are several places to go. If you’re having a problem with something in the book, it never hurts to go back over the book. It’s surprising how easy it is to overlook little things. If nothing else, reading the appropriate man and info pages will yield useful information on some subject, if not what you were looking for, and ensure that you know enough not to embarrass yourself if you have to ask someone. The Linux Documentation Project has the HOW-TOs and a great deal of other documentation. You might find something there. The website’s search includes the mailing lists. Many questions have been discussed there at least once. For support-type help, IRC is often best. It’s faster, and doesn’t clog the mailing lists. There’s more information about the IRC channels on the support webpage. There are a few IRC channels of interest. • #lfs – the LFS community channel. • #lfs-support – Support for LFS and BLFS.
