+        Building the linux kernel for the first time is one of the most
+        challenging tasks in LFS.  Getting it right depends on the specific
+        hardware for the target system and your specific needs. There are
+        almost 12,000 configuration items that are available for the kernel
+        although only about a third of them are needed for most computers. The
+        LFS editors recommend that users not familiar with this process follow
+        the procedures below fairly closely.  The objective is to get an
+        initial system to a point where you can log in at the command line when
+        you reboot later in <xref linkend="ch-finish-reboot"/>.  At his point
+        optimization and customization is not a goal.
