-<para>MUCH OF THIS PAGE HAS TO BE RE-WRITTEN TO FIT THE NEW LAYOUT.  THE
-OLD TEXT IS STILL IN THE XML SOURCE AND THE NEW TEXT CAN BE BASED ON
-IT.</para>
+<para>Everyone who reads the book will want to read certain sections.  The
+<xref linkend="introduction"/> part - which you are currently
+reading - contains generic information.  Especially take note of the 
+information in Important Information (<xref linkend="intro-important"/>), as 
+this contains comments about how to unpack software and various other aspects

-<!-- THIS NEEDS REWRITING TO FIT THE NEW LAYOUT
-<para>Everyone who reads the book will want to read certain sections.
-<xref linkend="part1"/> which you are reading now contains generic
-information.  Especially take note of the information 
-in <xref linkend="chapter02"/> as this chapter contains comments about 
-how to unpack software and various other aspects which apply 
-throughout the book.</para>
+<para>The part on <xref linkend="postlfs"/> is where most people will want
+to turn next.  This deals with not just configuration but also Security
+(<xref linkend="postlfs-security"/>), Filesystems (<xref
+linkend="postlfs-filesystems"/>), Editors (<xref
+linkend="postlfs-editors"/>) and Shells (<xref linkend="postlfs-shells"/>).
+Indeed, you may wish to reference certain parts of this chapter (especially
+the sections on Editors and Filesystems) whilst building your LFS system.</para>
 
-<para>Most people will want to at least browse through <xref
-linkend="part2"/> as this contains information on general post-LFS
-configuration issues and information on various libraries which are
-needed by many packages.  Note that you don't have to install all of
-these libraries to start with, each BLFS install procedure tells you
-which packages it depends upon so you can choose the program you want
-to install and see what it needs.</para>
+<para>Following these basic items, most people will want to at least browse 
+through the <xref linkend="general"/> part of the book.  This part contains
+information on many items which are prerequisites for other sections of the
+book as well as some items (such as Programming (<xref
+linkend="general-prog"/>) which are useful in their own right.  Note 
+that you don't have to install all of these libraries and packages found in
+this part to start with, each BLFS install procedure tells you which packages 
+it depends upon so you can choose the program you want to install and see 
+what it needs.</para>
 
-<para>Likewise, most people will probably want to look at <xref
-linkend="chapter06"/> to deal with connecting to the Internet or your local
-LAN.  The basic LFS book deals with setting up a static-ip based
-ethernet connection, all other configurations such as DHCP and dial-up
-internet connections are dealt with in this part of BLFS.</para>
+<para>Likewise, most people will probably want to look at the <xref 
+linkend="connect"/> and <xref linkend="basicnet"/> parts.  The first of
+these deals with connecting to the Internet or your local LAN using a variety 
+of methods such as DHCP (<xref linkend="connect-dhcp"/>) and Dial-Up
+Connections (<xref linkend="connect-dialup"/>).  The second of these parts
+deals with items such as Networking Libraries (<xref
+linkend="basicnet-netlibs"/>) and various basic networking programs and
+utilities.</para>
 
 <para>Once you have dealt with these basics, you may wish to configure
-network services such as mail.  All of this is dealt with in the
-remainder of <xref linkend="part3"/>.  Those wanting to build servers
-should find enough information to give them a good starting point here.</para>
+more advanced network services.  These are dealt with in the <xref 
+linkend="server"/> and <xref linkend="content"/> parts of the book.  
+Those wanting to build servers should find enough information to give 
+them a good starting point here.  Note that <xref linkend="content"/> also
+contains information on various database packages.</para>
 
-<para>Those creating desktop systems will want to look at the next three
-parts of the book: <xref linkend="part4"/>, <xref linkend="part5"/> and
-<xref linkend="part6"/>.</para>-->
+<para>The next parts of the book principally deal with desktop systems.
+We start with a part talking about <xref linkend="x"/>.  This part also
+deals with some generic X-based libraries (<xref linkend="x-lib"/>).  After 
+this, <xref linkend="kde"/> and <xref linkend="gnome"/> are given their 
+own parts which are followed by one on <xref linkend="xsoft"/>.</para>
+
+<para>We then move on to deal with <xref linkend="multimedia"/> packages.
+Note that many people may want to use the <xref linkend="alsa"/>
+instructions from this chapter quite near the start of their BLFS journey;
+they are placed here simply because it is the most logical place for
+them.</para>
+
+<para>The final part of the main BLFS book deals with <xref 
+linkend="pst"/>.  This is useful for most people with desktop systems and 
+even those who are creating mainly server systems will find it useful.</para>
+
+<para>Finally, the <xref linkend="appendices"/> contain various pieces of
+useful information which you may need to use as a reference.</para> 
 
 <para>We hope you enjoy using BLFS and find it useful.</para>
