Below is a list of all the packages you need to download for building the basic system. The version numbers printed correspond to versions of the software that is known to work and which this book is based on. If you experience problems which you can't solve yourself, download the version that is assumed in this book (in case you download a newer version).
Please note that this list used to be ordered on usage, meaning that the first package mentioned in this list was the first package used in this book. That's no longer the case because several chapters have been moved around, so that doens't apply. I didn't have the time to re-order this list in this development release. The next release will have this list ordered again.
