<title>Building LFS in Stages</title>
<para>LFS is designed to be built in one session. That is, the
instructions assume that the system will not be shut down
during the process. That does not mean that the system has to
be done in one sitting. The issue is that certain procedures
have to be re-accomplished after a reboot if resuming LFS at
different points.</para>
