  26. Standard Base (LSB) Version 5.0</ulink></para>
  27. <para>The LSB has four separate standards: Core, Desktop,
  28. Runtime Languages, and Imaging. In addition to generic requirements
  29. there are also architecture specific requirements. There are also two
  30. areas for trial use: Gtk3 and Graphics. LFS attempts to conform to the
  31. architectures discussed in the previous section.</para>
  32. <note><para>Many people do not agree with the requirements of the LSB.
  33. The main purpose of defining it is to ensure that proprietary software
  34. will be able to be installed and run properly on a compliant system.
  35. Since LFS is source based, the user has complete control over what
  36. packages are desired and many choose not to install some packages that
  37. are specified by the LSB.</para></note>

  40. <para>Creating a complete LFS system capable of passing the LSB
  41. certifications tests is possible, but not without many additional packages
  42. that are beyond the scope of LFS. These additional packages have
  43. installation instructions in BLFS. </para>
