<title>Introduction</title>
<?dbhtml filename="introduction.html"?>
-<para>In this chapter we will compile and install a minimal
-Linux system. This system will contain just enough tools to be able
-to start constructing the final LFS system in the next chapter and allow
-a working environment with a little more user convenience than a minimum
-environment.</para>
-
-<para>The building of this minimal system is done in two steps: first we
-build a brand-new and host-independent toolchain (compiler, assembler,
-linker, libraries, and a few useful utilities), and then use this to build all the other essential
-tools.</para>
-
-<para>The files compiled in this chapter will be installed under the
-<filename class="directory">$LFS/tools</filename> directory
-to keep them separate from the files installed in the next chapter and your host's production directories.
-Since the packages compiled here are merely temporary, we don't want
-them to pollute the soon-to-be LFS system.</para>
-
-<para>Before issuing the build instructions for a package, you are expected to
-have already unpacked it (explained shortly) as user <emphasis>lfs</emphasis>,
-and to have performed a <userinput>cd</userinput> into the created directory.
-The build instructions assume that you are using the <command>bash</command>
-shell.</para>
-
-<para>Several of the packages are patched before compilation, but only when
-the patch is needed to circumvent a problem. Often the patch is needed in
-both this and the next chapter, but sometimes in only one of them. Therefore,
-don't worry when instructions for a downloaded patch seem to be missing. Also,
-when applying a patch, you'll occasionally see warning messages about
-<emphasis>offset</emphasis> or <emphasis>fuzz</emphasis>. These warnings are
-nothing to worry about, as the patch was still successfully applied.</para>
-
-<para>During the compilation of most packages you will see many warnings
-scroll by on your screen. These are normal and can safely be ignored. They are
-just what they say they are: warnings -- mostly about deprecated, but not
-invalid, use of the C or C++ syntax. It's just that C standards have changed
-rather often and some packages still use the older standard, which is not
-really a problem.</para>
-
-<para>After installing each package you should delete its source and build
-directories, <emphasis>unless</emphasis> told otherwise. Deleting the sources
-saves space, but also prevents mis-configuration when the same package is
-reinstalled further on. Only for three packages you will need to keep the
-source and build directories around for a while, so their contents can be used
-by later commands. Do not miss the reminders.</para>
-
-<para>Now first check that your LFS environment variable is set up
-properly:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>echo $LFS</userinput></screen>
-
-<para>Make sure the output shows the path to your LFS partition's mount
-point, which is <filename class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename> if you
-followed our example.</para>
+<para>See testing.</para>
