+<para>LFS intends to be as far as possible platform independent.  Having
+said that, the main LFS development work occurs on the x86 platform.  We
+attempt to include information where possible on differences for other
+platforms such as PPC.  If you come across a problem compiling which is
+not related to the x86 platform, still feel free to ask for help on the
+mailing lists.  Even better, if you come up with a solution to a
+particular problem related to one of the other platforms, please let us
+know at the lfs-dev mailing list.  We will then (subject to confirming
+it works) include that in the book.</para>
