-<para>The installation of this software is straightforward. Although
-in many cases the installation instructions could be made shorter and

-package to minimize the possibilities for mistakes. The key to
-learning what makes a Linux system work is to know what each package

-<para>If using the compiler optimizations provided in this chapter,
-please review the optimization hint at <ulink
-url="&hints-root;optimization.txt"/>. Compiler optimizations can make
-a program run slightly faster, but they may also cause compilation
-difficulties and problems when running the program. If a package
-refuses to compile when using optimization, try to compile it without
-optimization and see if that fixes the problem. Even if the package
-does compile when using optimization, there is the risk it may have
-been compiled incorrectly because of the complex interactions between
-the code and build tools. Also note that the <option>-march</option>
-and <option>-mtune</option> options may cause problems with the
-toolchain packages (Binutils, GCC and Glibc). The small potential
-gains achieved in using compiler optimizations are often outweighed by
-the risks. First-time builders of LFS are encouraged to build without
-custom optimizations. The subsequent system will still run very fast
-and be stable at the same time.</para>

-<para>The order that packages are installed in this chapter needs to
-be strictly followed to ensure that no program accidentally acquires a
-path referring to <filename class="directory">/tools</filename>
-hard-wired into it. For the same reason, do not compile packages in
-parallel. Compiling in parallel may save time (especially on dual-CPU
-machines), but it could result in a program containing a hard-wired
-path to <filename class="directory">/tools</filename>, which will
-cause the program to stop working when that directory is
-removed.</para>
+ <para>If using the compiler optimizations provided in this chapter, please
+ review the optimization hint at <ulink url="&hints-root;optimization.txt"/>.
+ Compiler optimizations can make a program run slightly faster, but they may
+ also cause compilation difficulties and problems when running the program.
+ If a package refuses to compile when using optimization, try to compile it
+ without optimization and see if that fixes the problem. Even if the package
+ does compile when using optimization, there is the risk it may have been
+ compiled incorrectly because of the complex interactions between the code
+ and build tools. Also note that the <option>-march</option> and
+ <option>-mtune</option> options may cause problems with the toolchain packages
+ (Binutils, GCC and Glibc). The small potential gains achieved in using
+ compiler optimizations are often outweighed by the risks. First-time builders
+ of LFS are encouraged to build without custom optimizations. The subsequent
+ system will still run very fast and be stable at the same time.</para>

+ parallel may save time (especially on dual-CPU machines), but it could result
+ in a program containing a hard-wired path to <filename

+ working when that directory is removed.</para>
