  <para>In addition to the above required patches, there exist a number of
  optional patches created by the LFS community. These optional patches
  solve minor problems or enable functionality that is not enabled by
  default. Feel free to peruse the patches database located at
  <ulink url="&lfs-root;patches/"/> and acquire any additional
  patches to suit the system needs.</para>
