## 1.5.1. FAQ

If during the building of the CLFS system you encounter any errors, have any questions, or think there is a typo in the book, please start by consulting the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) that is located at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/.

## 1.5.2. Mailing Lists

The `linuxfromscratch.org` server hosts a number of mailing lists used for the development of the LFS project. These lists include the main development and support lists, among others. If the FAQ does not solve the problem you are having, the next step would be to search the mailing lists at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/search.html.

For information on the different lists, how to subscribe, archive locations, and additional information, visit http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/mail.html. For mailing lists specifically for CLFS, visit http:/trac.cross-lfs.org/wiki/lists.

Several members of the LFS community offer assistance on our community Internet Relay Chat (IRC) network. Before using this support, please make sure that your question is not already answered in the LFS FAQ or the mailing list archives. You can find the IRC network at `irc.linuxfromscratch.org`. The support channel for cross-lfs is named #cross-lfs. For support on the standard LFS the support channel is named #lfs-support. If you need to show people the output of your problems, please use http://pastebin.linuxfromscratch.org and reference the pastebin URL when asking your questions.
