|
|---|
| 18 | <para>The intention of LFS is to provide a basic system which you can
|
|---|
| 19 | build upon. There are several things about tidying up the system which
|
|---|
| 20 | many people wonder about once they have done the base install.
|
|---|
| 21 | We hope to cover these issues in this chapter.</para>

| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | <para>Most people coming from non-Unix like backgrounds to Linux find the
|
|---|
| 24 | concept of text-only configuration files slightly strange. In Linux, just
|
|---|
| 25 | about all configuration is done via the manipulation of text files. The
|
|---|
| 26 | majority of these files can be found in the
|
|---|
| 27 | <filename class='directory'>/etc</filename> hierarchy. There are often
|
|---|
| 28 | graphical configuration programs available for different subsystems but most
|
|---|
| 29 | are simply pretty front ends to the process of editing a text file. The
|
|---|
| 30 | advantage of text-only configuration is that you can edit parameters using
|
|---|
| 31 | your favorite text editor, whether that be <command>vim</command>,
|
|---|
| 32 | <command>emacs</command>, or any other editor.</para>
|

| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | <para>The first task is making a recovery boot device in
|
|---|
| 35 | <xref linkend="postlfs-config-bootdisk"/> because it's the most critical need.
|
|---|
| 36 | Hardware issues relevant to firmware and other devices is addressed next.
|
|---|
| 37 | The system is then configured to ease addition of new users, because this
|
|---|
| 38 | can affect the choices you make in the two subsequent
|
|---|
| 39 | topics—<xref linkend="postlfs-config-profile"/> and
|
|---|
| 40 | <xref linkend="postlfs-config-vimrc"/>.</para>
