| 8 | between turning on the computer and seeing the command prompt, you may
|

| 9 | want to read the <quote>From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO</quote>. This
|
|---|
| 10 | 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
|
|---|
| 15 | From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO, ask yourself this
|
|---|
| 16 | question: "Is my main objective to get a working Linux system that I'm
|
|---|
| 17 | going to build myself and, along the way learn what every component of
|
|---|
| 18 | a system is for? Or is just the learning part my main objective?" If
|
|---|
| 19 | you want to build and learn, read this book. If you just want to learn
|
|---|
| 20 | the basics, then the From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO is probably
|
|---|
| 21 | better material to read.</para>
