| 5 | <para>People who don't want to build an entire Linux system from scratch
|

| 6 | probably don't want to read this book. If you, however, want to learn
|
|---|
| 7 | more about what happens behind the scenes, in particular what happens
|
|---|
| 8 | between turning on the computer and seeing the command prompt, you may
|
|---|
| 9 | want to read the <quote>From Power Up To Bash Prompt</quote> (P2B) HOWTO.
|
|---|
| 10 | This HOWTO builds a bare system, in a way similar to the one this book
|
|---|
| 11 | uses, but it focuses more on just installing a bootable system instead
|
|---|
| 12 | of a complete system.</para>

|

| 14 | <para>To decide whether to read this book or the P2B HOWTO, ask yourself this
|
|---|
| 15 | question: "Is my main objective to get a working Linux system that I'm
|
|---|
| 16 | going to build myself and, along the way learn what every component of
|
|---|
| 17 | a system is for? Or is just the learning part my main objective?" If
|
|---|
| 18 | you want to build and learn, read this book. If you just want to learn
|
|---|
| 19 | the basics, then the P2B HOWTO is probably better material to read.</para>
