<title>Who would not want to read this book</title>
<?dbhtml filename="whonotread.html" dir="preface"?>
<para>People who don't want to build an entire Linux system from scratch
probably don't want to read this book. If you, however, want to learn
more about what happens behind the scenes, in particular what happens
between turning on the computer and seeing the command prompt, you may
want to read the <quote>From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO</quote>. This
HOWTO builds a bare system, in a way similar to the one this book
uses, but it focuses more on just installing a bootable system instead
of a complete system.</para>
<para>If you do not wish to build your own Linux system from scratch, then
you probably do not want to read this book. Our goal is to build a complete
and useable foundation system. If you only want to know what happens while
your computer boots, then, we recommend the
<quote>From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO</quote>. The HOWTO builds a bare
system which is similar to that of this book, but it focuses strictly on
creating a system capable of booting to a BASH prompt.</para>
<para>To decide whether to read this book or the
From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO, ask yourself this
question: "Is my main objective to get a working Linux system that I'm
going to build myself and, along the way learn what every component of
a system is for? Or is just the learning part my main objective?" If
you want to build and learn, read this book. If you just want to learn
the basics, then the From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO is probably
better material to read.</para>
<para>While you decide which to read, consider your objective. If you wish
to build a Linux system while learning a bit along the way, then this book
is probably your best choice. If your objective is strictly educational, and
you do not have any plans for your finished system, then the
From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO is probably a better choice.</para>
