5We are going to build the LFS system by using an already installed Linux
6distribution such as Debian, SuSe, Slackware, Mandrake, RedHat, etc. You
7don't need to have any kind of bootdisk. We will use an existing Linux
8system as the base (since we need a compiler, linker, text editor and other
9tools).

13If you don't have Linux installed yet, you won't be able to put this
14book to use right away. I suggest you first install a Linux
15distribution. It really doesn't matter which one you install. It also
16doesn't need to be the latest version, though it shouldn't be a too old one.
17If it is about a year old or newer it should do just fine. You will save
18yourself a lot of trouble if your normal system uses glibc-2.1 or newer.
19Libc5 isn't supported by this book, though it isn't impossible to use a
20libc5 system if you have no choice.
