Fetching necessary packages

I've began with obtaining the packages that are needed to build a basic Linux system.

I went with the wget-list way. First, I've downloaded the wget-list from the mirror, then I've wget all the listed packages (plus a md5sums file for verification):

sh
wget https://lfs.opensource.foundation/lfs/downloads/stable/wget-list --directory-prefix=/mnt/lfs/sources
wget --input-file="/mnt/lfs/sources/wget-list" --continue --directory-prefix=/mnt/lfs/sources
wget https://lfs.opensource.foundation/lfs/downloads/stable/md5sums --directory-prefix=/mnt/lfs/sources

I checked the md5sums to see if I'm good to go with that script:

sh
# source-check.sh
pushd $LFS/sources
  md5sum -c md5sums
popd

That's how I knew I'm missing expat-2.4.8.tar.xz (because it was moved from SourceForge to GitHub) and zlib-1.2.12.tar.xz (an update became available, so I've downloaded this particular version from here; since no xz archive is available, I wasn't able to check the MD5 sum for this one. We'll see how it goes).
