| 5 | Well done! You have finished installing your LFS system. It may have
|
|---|
| 6 | been a long process but it was well worth it. We wish you a lot of fun
|
|---|
| 7 | with your new shiny custom built Linux system.

| 11 | Now would be a good time to strip all debug symbols from
|
|---|
| 12 | the binaries on your LFS system. If you are not a programmer and don't plan
|
|---|
| 13 | on debugging your software, then you will be happy to know that you can
|
|---|
| 14 | reclaim a few tens of megs by removing debug symbols. This process causes
|
|---|
| 15 | no inconvenience other than not being able to debug the software fully
|
|---|
| 16 | anymore, which is not an issue if you don't know how to debug. You can
|
|---|
| 17 | remove the symbols by executing the following command:

| 26 | If you plan to ever upgrade to a newer LFS version in the future it
|
|---|
| 27 | will be a good idea to create the /etc/lfs-&version; file. By having
|
|---|
| 28 | this file it is very easy for you (and for us if you are going to ask
|
|---|
| 29 | for help with something at some point) to find out which LFS version
|
|---|
| 30 | you have installed on your system. This can just be a null-byte file by
|
|---|
| 31 | running:
|
|---|
| 32 | </para>
|

| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | <blockquote><literallayout>
|

| 39 | If you are wondering: "Well, where to go now?" you'll be glad to hear that
|
|---|
| 40 | someone has written an <ulink
|

| 41 | url="http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs-hints/Afterlfs.txt">LFS-Hint</ulink>
|
|---|
| 42 | on that subject. On a same note, if you are not only newbie to LFS, but also
|
|---|
| 43 | newbie to Linux in general, you may find the <ulink
|

| 44 | url="http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs-hints/newbie.txt">newbie

|

| 50 | you are in need of help, advice, etc. See
