<title>Introduction</title>
<?dbhtml filename="introduction.html"?>
-<para>In this chapter we enter the building site, and start
-constructing our LFS system in earnest. That is, we chroot into
-our temporary mini Linux system, create some auxiliary things,
-and then start installing all the packages, one by one.</para>
-
-<para>The installation of all this software is pretty straightforward,
-and you will probably think it would be much shorter to give here
-the generic installation instructions and explain in full only the
-installation of those packages that require an alternate method.
-Although we agree with that, we nevertheless choose to give the
-full instructions for each and every package, simply to minimize
-the possibilities for mistakes.</para>
-
-<para>The key to learning what makes a Linux system work is to know
-what each package is used for and why the user (or the system) needs it.
-For this purpose for every installed package a summary of its content is
-given followed by concise descriptions of each program and library it
-installed.</para>
-
-<para>If you plan to use compiler optimizations in this chapter, take a look at
-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 even problems when running the program. If a
-package refuses to compile when using optimization, try to compile it without
-optimization and see if the problem goes away. Even if the package does compile
-when using optimization, there is the risk it may have been compiled incorrectly
-due to complex interactions between the code and build tools. In short, the
-small potential gains achieved in using compiler optimization are generally
-outweighed by the risk. First time builders of LFS are encouraged to build
-without custom optimizations. Your system will still be very fast and very
-stable at the same time.</para>
-
-<para>The order in which packages are installed in this chapter has
-to be strictly followed, to ensure that no program gets a path referring
-to <filename class="directory">/tools</filename> hard-wired into it.
-For the same reason, <emphasis>do not </emphasis> compile packages
-in parallel. Compiling in parallel may save you some 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>Before the installation instructions each installation page gives some
-information about the package: a concise description of what it contains,
-approximately how long it will take to build it, how much disk space it needs
-during this building process, and which other packages it
-needs in order to be built successfully. After the installation instructions
-follows a list of programs and libraries that the package installs, together
-with a series of short descriptions of these.</para>
-
-<para>If you wish to keep track of which package installs what files, you may
-want to use a package manager. For a general overview of package managers have
-a look at <ulink url="&blfs-root;view/cvs/introduction/pkgmgt.html"/>. And for
-a package management method specifically geared towards LFS see
-<ulink url="&hints-root;more_control_and_pkg_man.txt"/>.</para>
