<para>Building an LFS system is not a simple task. It requires a certain
|
|
level of existing knowledge of Unix system administration in order to resolve
|
|
problems and correctly execute the commands listed. In particular, as an
|
|
absolute minimum, you should already know how to use the
|
|
command line (shell) to copy or move files and directories, list directory
|
|
and file contents, and change the current directory. It is also expected that
|
|
you know how to use and install Linux
|
|
software.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Because the LFS book assumes <emphasis>at least</emphasis> this basic
|
|
level of skill, the various LFS support forums are unlikely to
|
|
provide you with much assistance in these areas. You will find that your
|
|
questions regarding such basic knowledge will likely go unanswered (or you
|
|
will simply be referred to the LFS essential pre-reading list).</para>
|
|

<para>Before building an LFS system, we urge you to read these articles:</para>
