    58 
    59     <para>As stated earlier, the goal of LFS is to build a complete and usable
    60     foundation-level system.  This includes all packages needed to replicate
    61     itself while providing a relativly minimal base from which to customize
    62     a more complete system based on the choices of the user.  This does not
    63     mean that LFS is the smallest system possible.  Several important packages
    64     are included that are not strictly required.  The lists below document the
    65     rationale for each package int he book.</para>
