-        <para>This version of the book builds a 32-bit Linux system and
-        requires an existing 32-bit version of of the kernel on the Intel/AMD
-        x86 architecture.  Adding capabilty for x86_64 systems is a major
-        objective of a future version of LFS.  Support for 64-bit systems and
-        additional architectures can be found in the Cross-Compiled Linux From
-        Scratch (CLFS) project at <ulink url="http://cross-lfs.org/view/svn/"/>.
