[ebecd08] | 16 | <para>First, remove the currently installed documentation files to prevent them

[02b2631] | 17 | from ending up in the final system, and to save about 35 MB:</para>

[3d65730e] | 21 | <para>Second, on a modern Linux system, the libtool .la files are only
|

[ebecd08] | 22 | useful for libltdl. No libraries in LFS are loaded by
|

| 23 | libltdl, and it's known that some .la files can cause BLFS package
|

| 24 | failures. Remove those files now:</para>

[2c8fdfc] | 29 | The current system size is now about 3 GB, however

[02b2631] | 30 | the /tools directory is no longer needed. It uses about

| 31 | 1 GB of disk space. Delete it now:

| 41 | At this point the essential programs and libraries have been created
|
---|
| 42 | and your current LFS system is in a good state. Your system can now be
|
---|
| 43 | backed up for later reuse. In case of fatal failures in the subsequent
|
---|
| 44 | chapters, it often turns out that removing everything and starting over
|
---|
[ebecd08] | 45 | (more carefully) is the best way to recover. Unfortunately, all the
|
---|
[beb80e2] | 46 | temporary files will be removed, too. To avoid spending extra time to
|
---|
[ebecd08] | 47 | redo something which has been done successfully, creating a backup of
|
---|
[beb80e2] | 48 | the current LFS system may prove useful.

| 53 | as soon as you begin installing packages in <xref

|

| 55 | overwritten. So it may be a good idea to do a backup of the current
