<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, the reader should already have the ability 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 the reader
|
|
has a reasonable knowledge of using and installing 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 be able to
|
|
provide you with much assistance; 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 recommend reading the following HOWTOs:
