 <para>The primary target architectures of LFS are the AMD/Intel x86 (32-bit)
 and x86_64 (64-bit) CPUs.  On the other hand, the instructions in this book are
-also known to work, with some modifications, with the Power PC and ARM CPUs. To
-build a system that utilizes one of these CPUs, the main prerequisite, in
-addition to those on the next page, is an existing Linux system such as an
-earlier LFS installation, Ubuntu, Red Hat/Fedora, SuSE, or other distribution
-that targets the architecture that you have. Also note that a 32-bit
-distribution can be installed and used as a host system on a 64-bit AMD/Intel
-computer.</para>

 <para>For building LFS, the gain of building on a 64-bit system
 compared to a 32-bit system is minimal.
