|

| 10 | <para>Part I explains a few important things on how to proceed with the
|
---|
| 11 | installation, and gives meta information about the book (version, changelog,
|

|
---|
| 17 |
|
---|
| 18 | <para>Part II describes how to prepare for the building process: making a
|
---|
| 19 | partition, downloading the packages, and compiling temporary tools.</para>

| 23 | <title>Part III - Building the LFS system</title>
|
---|
| 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>

| 33 | <title>Part IV - Appendix</title>
|
---|
| 34 |
|
---|
| 35 | <para>Part IV for the moment consists of just a single appendix: an alphabetical
|
---|
| 36 | list of all the packages installed, for each package giving its official download
|
---|
| 37 | location, its contents, and its installation dependencies.</para>
|
---|
| 38 |
|
---|
| 39 | <para>(Much of this Appendix A is integrated into Parts II and III. This
|
---|
| 40 | enlarges the book somewhat, but we believe it makes for easier reading. Now
|
---|
| 41 | you don't have to keep referencing the appendix while doing the installation.
|
---|
| 42 | This going back and forth would be a real chore, especially if you're reading
|
---|
| 43 | the txt version of the book.)</para>
