<para>People who don't want to build an entire Linux system from scratch
|
|
probably don't want to read this book. If you, however, want to learn
|
|
more about what happens behind the scenes, in particular what happens
|
|
between turning on the computer and seeing the command prompt, you may
|
|
want to read the <quote>From Power Up To Bash Prompt</quote> (P2B) HOWTO.
|
|
This HOWTO builds a bare system, in a way similar to the one this book
|
|
uses, but it focuses more on just installing a bootable system instead
|
|
of a complete system.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To decide whether to read this book or the P2B HOWTO, ask yourself this
|
|
question: "Is my main objective to get a working Linux system that I'm
|
|
going to build myself and, along the way learn what every component of
|
|
a system is for? Or is just the learning part my main objective?" If
|
|
you want to build and learn, read this book. If you just want to learn
|
|
the basics, then the P2B HOWTO is probably better material to read.</para>
|
