<title>Rebooting the System</title>
<?dbhtml filename="reboot.html"?>
+<para>Now that all of the software has been installed, it is time to reboot
+your computer. However, you should be aware of a few things. The system you
+have created in this book is quite minimal, and most likely will not have
+the functionality you would need to be able to continue forward. By installing
+a few extra packages from the BLFS book while still in our current chroot
+environment, you can leave yourself in a much better position to continue on
+once you reboot into your new LFS installation. Installing a text mode web
+browser, such as Lynx, you can easily view the BLFS book in one virtual
+terminal, while building packages in another. The GPM package will also allow
+you to perform copy/paste actions in your virtual terminals. Lastly, if you
+are in a situation where static IP configuration does not meet your networking
+requirements, installing packages such as dhcpcd or ppp at this point might
+also be useful.</para>
