1.5.1. Things to Mention
Apart from a brief explanation of the problem being experienced, the essential things to include in any request for help are:
• The version of the book being used (in this case 9.0 )
• The host distribution and version being used to create LFS
• The output from the Host System Requirements script
• The package or section the problem was encountered in
• The exact error message or symptom being received
• Note whether you have deviated from the book at all
Note
Deviating from this book does not mean that we will not help you. After all, LFS is about personal preference. Being upfront about any changes to the established procedure helps us evaluate and determine possible causes of your problem.
