10 | <title>Part I - Introduction</title>
|

11 |
|

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

14 | acknowledgments, associated mailing lists, and so on).</para>

|

19 |
|

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

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

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