Just merged into the main repo. This looks good. I like the idea of
having a page at the top of each section with a list of the files to
download.

But let me ask, in the future some of those sections are going to get
big. Both CBLFS and BLFS have the files needed for each package listed
on each page rather then in a manifest at the top of the section. Lets
say a section was to have 20 packages in it, and you were only going to
install one, say iptables. Would it make more sense to have the download
locations listed on each page?

Just some food for thought.

Thanks
