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>
