|

|

| 18 | <para>Part II describes how to prepare for the building process: making a

|
---|
| 24 |
|
---|
| 25 | <para>Part III guides you through the building of the LFS system: compiling
|
---|
| 26 | and installing all the packages one by one, setting up the boot scripts, and
|
---|
| 27 | installing the kernel. The resulting basic Linux system is the foundation
|
---|
| 28 | upon which you can build other software, to extend your system in the way
|
---|
| 29 | you like.</para>

|

[fa7b512] | 34 |
|
---|
[38cd1e0] | 35 | <para>Part IV consists of two appendices. The first is an alphabetical list of
|
---|
| 36 | all the packages that are installed -- for each package giving its official
|
---|
| 37 | download location, its contents, and its installation dependencies. The second
|
---|
| 38 | appendix lists all the programs and libraries installed by these packages in
|
---|
| 39 | alphabetical order, so you can easily find out to which package a certain
|
---|
| 40 | program or library belongs.</para>
|
---|
[fa7b512] | 41 |
|
---|
[38cd1e0] | 42 | <para>(Much of the first appendix is integrated into Parts II and III. This
|
---|
[fa7b512] | 43 | enlarges the book somewhat, but we believe it makes for easier reading. Now
|
---|
| 44 | you don't have to keep referencing the appendix while doing the installation.
|
---|
| 45 | This going back and forth would be a real chore, especially if you're reading
|
---|
[38cd1e0] | 46 | a plain text version of the book.)</para>
