Hi,
I am following "How To Build a Minimal Linux System from Source Code"
to build a Linux. In the 1st chapter it lists some source files I need
to download for the build. In GNU libc section it says I need an
add-on, libcrypt. But the link there does not work.

I check the "Linux From Scratch" project, it does not mention this
source is needed. I wonder if I can really skip this one. If can not,
could you point me where I can get the source?

Thanks.

libcrypt gets built as part of glibc. It's appears that crypt is a
separate tarball (glibc-crypt-2.1.tar.gz).
