18This option causes vim to look for the <filename>/etc/vimrc</filename> file
19which contains vim's global settings. Normally, this file is assumed to be
20located in <filename class="directory">/usr/share/vim</filename>, but we
21feel that <filename class="directory">/etc</filename> is a more logical
22place for this kind of file.</para></listitem>

34<para>If you plan to install the X Window system on your LFS
35system, you might want to re-compile Vim after you have installed X. Vim
36comes with a nice GUI version of the editor which requires X and a few
37other libraries to be installed. For more information read the Vim
38documentation.</para>
