"Stable" means different things depending on context. AFAIK, there is no book (and hasn't been one) that purports to be both stable and build a stable system. The last book that I am aware of which reliably builds an HLFS distro which runs reliably (stable for me, in other words), and which is built on a 2.6 series kernel, is SVN-20060510. Courtesy of Manuel Canales Esparcia, you can download this book via svn with svn co -r649 svn://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/HLFS/trunk/BOOK The patches and sources for this book are mostly findable by jhalfs; there are a few that you'll have to hunt for with google. Caveats: I haven't built any of the HLFS books under development in the "stable" branch, because I want a 2.6 series kernel. These might be better, depending on your needs. Also, there might well be a later version of HLFS in the development branch that means an informal definition of "stable"; I haven't been building them because I infer from posts to this list that they still don't build reliably (which is not a criticism; this is explicitly a development book after all). -jps -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
