-    Having helped out with Linux From Scratch for a short time, I
-    noticed that we were getting many queries as to how to do things beyond
-    the base LFS system.  At the time, the only assistance specifically offered
-    relating to LFS were the LFS hints (<ulink url="&hints-root;"/>).
-    Most of the LFS hints are extremely good and well written
-    but I (and others) could still see a need for more comprehensive help to
-    go Beyond LFS &mdash; hence BLFS.
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-    BLFS aims to be more than the LFS-hints converted to XML although
-    much of our work is based around the hints and indeed some authors write
-    both hints and the relevant BLFS sections.  We hope that we can provide
-    you with enough information to not only manage to build your system up to
-    what you want, whether it be a web server or a multimedia desktop system,
-    but also that you will learn a lot about system configuration as you go.
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-    Thanks as ever go to everyone in the LFS/BLFS
-    community; especially those who have contributed instructions, written text,
-    answered questions and generally shouted when things were wrong!
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-    Finally, we encourage you to become involved in the community; ask
-    questions on the mailing list or news gateway and join in the fun on #lfs
-    and #lfs-support at Libera. You can find more details about all of these
-    in the <xref linkend="introduction"/> section of the book.

-    I still remember how I found the BLFS project
-    and started using the instructions that were completed at the time.  I could
-    not believe how wonderful it was to get an application up and running very
-    quickly, with explanations as to why things were done a certain way.
-    Unfortunately, for me, it wasn't long before I was opening applications that
-    had nothing more  than "To be done" on the page.  I did what most would do,
-    I waited for someone else to do it.  It wasn't too long before I am looking
-    through  <application>Bugzilla</application> for something easy to do.
-    As with any learning experience, the definition of what was easy kept
-    changing.

-    We still encourage you to become involved as BLFS is

-    The BLFS project is a natural progression of
-    LFS.  Together, these projects provide a unique resource for
-    the Open Source Community.  They take the mystery out of the process of
-    building a complete, functional software system from the source code
-    contributed by many talented individuals throughout the world.  They truly
-    allow users to implement the slogan
-    <quote><emphasis>Your distro, your rules</emphasis></quote>.

-  <para>
-    Our goal is to continue to provide the best resource available that shows
-    you how to integrate many significant Open Source applications.  Since these
-    applications are constantly updated and new applications are developed, this
-    book will never be complete.  Additionally, there is always room for
-    improvement in explaining the nuances of how to install the different
-    packages.  To make these improvements, we need your feedback.  I encourage
-    you to participate on the different mailing lists, news groups, and
-    IRC channels to help meet these goals.

-    My introduction to the [B]LFS project was actually by accident. I
-    was trying to build a <application>GNOME</application> environment using
-    some how-tos and other information I found on the web. A couple of times
-    I ran into some build issues and Googling pulled up some old BLFS mailing
-    list messages. Out for curiosity, I visited the Linux From Scratch web site
-    and shortly thereafter was hooked. I've not used any other Linux
-    distribution for personal use since.
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-    I can't promise anyone will feel the sense of satisfaction I felt
-    after building my first few systems using [B]LFS instructions, but I
-    sincerely hope that your BLFS experience is as rewarding for you as it has
-    been for me.
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-    The BLFS project has grown significantly the last couple of years.
-    There are more package instructions and related dependencies than ever
-    before. The project requires your input for continued success. If you
-    discover that you enjoy building BLFS, please consider helping out in any
-    way you can. BLFS requires hundreds of hours of maintenance to keep it
-    even semi-current. If you feel confident enough in your editing skills,
-    please consider joining the BLFS team. Simply contributing to the mailing
-    list discussions with sound advice and/or providing patches to the book's
-    XML will probably result in you receiving an invitation to join the
-    team.

-  <para>
-    This book is mainly aimed at those who have built a system based
-    on the LFS book. It will also be useful for those who are using other
-    distributions, and for one reason or another want to manually build
-    software and need some assistance. Note that the material
-    in this book, in particular the dependency listings,
-    assumes that you are using a basic LFS system with every
-    package listed in the LFS book already installed and configured. BLFS can
-    be used to create a range of diverse systems and so the target audience is
-    probably as wide as that of the LFS book.  If you found LFS useful,
-    you should also like this!
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-    Since Release 7.4, the BLFS book version has matched the LFS book version.
-    This book may be incompatible with a previous or later release of the LFS
-    book.
