16 | <title>After LFS Configuration Issues</title>
|
---|
17 |
|
---|
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>
|
---|
41 |
|
---|
42 | <para> The remaining topics, <xref linkend="postlfs-config-logon"/>,
|
---|
43 | <xref linkend="postlfs-config-random"/>,
|
---|
44 | <xref linkend="autofs"/>, and
|
---|
45 | <xref linkend="postlfs-config-netfs"/> are then addressed, in that order. They
|
---|
46 | don't have much interaction with the other topics in this chapter.</para>
