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,
|

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

16 | <title>Part II - Preparing for the build</title>
|
---|
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 - Appendices</title>
|
---|
34 |
|
---|
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>
|
---|
41 |
|
---|
42 | <para>(Much of the first appendix is integrated into Parts II and III. This
|
---|
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
|
---|
46 | a plain text version of the book.)</para>
