+The End
+
+
+Well done! You have finished installing your LFS system. It may have
+been a long process but it was well worth it. We wish you a lot of fun
+with your new shiny custom built Linux system.
+
+
+
+If you plan to ever upgrade to a newer LFS version in the future it
+will be a good idea to create the /etc/lfs-&version; file. By having
+this file it is very easy for you (and for us if you are going to ask
+for help with something at some point) to find out which LFS version
+you have installed on your system. This can just be a null-byte file by
+running touch /etc/lfs-&version;.
+
+
+
+Don't forget there are serveral LFS mailinglist you can subscribe to if
+you are in need of help, advice, etc. See
+Chapter 1 - Mailinglists for
+more information.
+
+
+
+Again, we thank you for using the LFS Book and hope you found this book
+useful and worth your time.
