[b822811]4<para>People who don't want to build an entire Linux system from scratch
[f231756]5probably don't want to read this book. If you, however, want to learn
[6370fa6]6more about what happens behind the scenes, in particular what happens
[f231756]7between turning on the computer and seeing the command prompt, you may
8want to read the <quote>From Power Up To Bash Prompt</quote> (P2B) HOWTO.
[03a9916]9This HOWTO builds a bare system, in a way similar to the one this book
[ad4f6fb]10uses, but it focuses more on just installing a bootable system instead
[b822811]11of a complete system.</para>
[6370fa6]12
[b822811]13<para>To decide whether to read this book or the P2B HOWTO, ask yourself this
[f231756]14question: "Is my main objective to get a working Linux system that I'm
[03a9916]15going to build myself and, along the way learn what every component of
16a system is for? Or is just the learning part my main objective?" If
[280bcc8]17you want to build and learn, read this book. If you just want to learn
[b822811]18the basics, then the P2B HOWTO is probably better material to read.</para>
