+  <para>This chapter includes <application>texlive</application> applications that
+  create output equivalent to typesetting.</para>
+
+  <para>There are two alternative routes through this chapter:</para>
+
+  <para>Some people may wish to use the binary installer, either because of the
+  complexity of installing all of <application>texlive</application> from
+  source, or because they only want a part of the package, or perhaps because
+  they wish to get updates as soon as those are available (the source is only
+  updated annually). These people should follow the <xref
+  linkend="tl-installer"/> instructions,. After installing, they can run
+  <command>tlmgr</command> to update their system.</para>
+
+  <para>Most people reading BLFS will wish to build from source. You can either
+  do as BLFS used to do, by starting with <application>install-tl-unx</application>,
+  or you can avoid the binary files completely and begin at
+  <xref linkend="texpass1"/> which will install most of
+  <application>texlive</application>, together with <emphasis>all</emphasis> of the
+  supporting files. This almost-complete install is then used to build two
+  remaining parts of <application>texlive</application>, xindy and asy (that
+  involves recompiling all of the package, but not reinstalling all of it).</para>
+
+  <para>Because the texmf files (including documentation, fonts, scripts and
+  supporting files) are all in one tarball, it is not practical to limit what
+  gets extracted in a sensible way (e.g. to exclude one or other of the typesetting
+  engines).</para>
+
+  <para>After that, people building from source will wish to install <xref
+  linkend="biber"/>, which is supplied separately, to complete the full
+  installation.</para>
