r817c2d5 r10cb9c2 3 3 <?dbhtml filename="whonotread.html" dir="preface"?> 4 4 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-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> 5 <para>If you do not wish to build your own Linux system from scratch, then 6 you probably do not want to read this book. Our goal is to build a complete 7 and useable foundation system. If you only want to know what happens while 8 your computer boots, then, we recommend the 9 <quote>From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO</quote>. The HOWTO builds a bare 10 system which is similar to that of this book, but it focuses strictly on 11 creating a system capable of booting to a BASH prompt.</para> 13 12 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> 13 <para>While you decide which to read, consider your objective. If you wish 14 to build a Linux system while learning a bit along the way, then this book 15 is probably your best choice. If your objective is strictly educational, and 16 you do not have any plans for your finished system, then the 17 From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO is probably a better choice.</para> 22 18 23 19 <para>The <quote>From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO</quote> is located at … … 25 21 26 22 </sect1> 27
