    18   <para>This book is mainly aimed at those who have built a system based
    19   on the LFS book. It will also be useful for those who are using other
    20   distributions, but for one reason or another want to manually build
    21   software and are in need of some assistance. Note that the material
    22   contained in this book, in particular the dependency listings, is based
    23   upon the assumption that you are using a base LFS system with every
    24   package listed in the LFS book already installed and configured. BLFS can
    25   be used to create a range of diverse systems and so the target audience is
    26   probably nearly as wide as that of the LFS book.  If you found LFS useful,
    27   you should also like this!</para>
