|

|

| 13 | <para>The intention of LFS is to provide a basic system which you can
|
|---|
| 14 | build upon. There are several things, about tidying up the system, which
|
|---|
| 15 | many people wonder about once they have done the base install.
|
|---|
| 16 | We hope to cover these issues in this chapter.</para>

|

| 18 | <para>Most people coming from non-Unix like backgrounds to Linux find the
|
|---|
| 19 | concept of text-only configuration files slightly strange. In Linux, just
|
|---|
| 20 | about all configuration is done via text files. The majority of these files
|
|---|
| 21 | can be found in the <filename>/etc</filename> hierarchy. There are often
|
|---|
| 22 | graphical configuration programs available for different subsystems but most
|
|---|
| 23 | are simply pretty front ends to the process of editing the file. The advantage
|
|---|
| 24 | of text-only configuration is that you can edit parameters using your favorite
|
|---|
| 25 | text editor, whether that be <command>vim</command>,
|
|---|
| 26 | <command>emacs</command>, or anything else.</para>
|

| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | <para>The first task is making a recovery diskette because it's the most
|
|---|
| 29 | critical need. Then the system is configured to ease addition of
|
|---|
| 30 | new users, in <xref linkend="postlfs-config-bootdisk"/>, because this
|
|---|
| 31 | can affect the choices you make in the two subsequent topics—<xref
|
|---|
| 32 | linkend="postlfs-config-profile"/> and <xref linkend="postlfs-config-vimrc"/>.</para>
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | <para> The remaining topics, <xref linkend="postlfs-config-logon"/>,
|
|---|
| 35 | <xref linkend="postlfs-config-shells"/>, <xref linkend="postlfs-config-random"/>,
|
|---|
| 36 | <xref linkend="compressdoc"/>, <xref linkend="autofs"/>, and
|
|---|
| 37 | <xref linkend="postlfs-config-netfs"/> are then addressed, in that order. They
|
|---|
| 38 | don't have much interaction with the other topics in this chapter.</para>
