I am trying to make an embedded NAS device and want to have e2fsprogs on my machine. But I think it's fine to have it in the beyond section as the core embedded system should be as small as possible.
But, being new to CLFS, I thought the book was small because it was unfinished and didn't actually know about the huge number of programs in the beyond section until I stumbled upon it by mistake through google. So my suggestion is to have link and endorsement of the beyond website more prominently in the book, perhaps in the introduction to installing the system software (Chapter 7.1) eg. Only the core packages are installed in this section. Instructions for installing many additional packages are available at the Beyond Cross Linux from Scratch website (http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/) and other sites (see Section 14.4 What Now for additional resources) Also, in section 14.4 What Now - the beyond link is to the BLFS and not to CBLFS site. Both sites are useful when searching for instructions for adding additional packages.
