re42600e r3dd64c1 18 18 This book is mainly aimed at those who have built a system based 19 19 on the LFS book. It will also be useful for those who are using other 20 distributions, andfor one reason or another want to manually build21 software and needsome assistance. Note that the material22 in this book, in particular the dependency listings,23 assumes that you are using a basicLFS system with every20 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 24 package listed in the LFS book already installed and configured. BLFS can 25 25 be used to create a range of diverse systems and so the target audience is 26 probably as wide as that of the LFS book. If you found LFS useful,26 probably nearly as wide as that of the LFS book. If you found LFS useful, 27 27 you should also like this! 28 28 </para> 29 29 30 30 <para> 31 Since Release 7.4, the BLFS book version has matchedthe LFS book version.31 Since Release 7.4, the BLFS book version matches the LFS book version. 32 32 This book may be incompatible with a previous or later release of the LFS 33 33 book. -

re42600e r3dd64c1 16 16 17 17 <para>Unlike the Linux From Scratch book, BLFS isn't designed to be 18 followed in a linear manner. LFS provides instructions19 on how to create a base system which can becomeanything18 followed in a linear manner. This is because LFS provides instructions 19 on how to create a base system which is capable of turning into anything 20 20 from a web server to a multimedia desktop system. BLFS attempts 21 21 to guide you in the process of going from the base system to your intended 22 22 destination.
