I will try to follow the list generated by mk2gr, except that xorg (meaning the whole of X) will be left until something turns up which needs it. For slightly different reasons, the same applies to java and texlive (which, since it should be needed only for documentation, will probably be the last thing built).

BLFS Book NSPR-4.13.1

Built on the rebooted new system as a trial
• needed to change pio config
• need this notebook on Windows (in C:\Software\sdx, transfer via ~/temp on host only, not rebooted new system)
• need to install Certificate Authority Certificates before anything else (in the second group, but that is because they depend on openssl which is already installed).
