+<title>Who would not want to read this book</title>
+
+<para>
+Users who don't want to build an entire Linux system from scratch
+probably don't want to read this book. If you, however, do want to learn
+more about what happens behind the scenes, in particular what happens
+between turning on your computer and seeing the command prompt, you want
+to read the <quote>From Power Up To Bash Prompt</quote> (P2B) HOWTO.
+This HOWTO builds a bare system, in a similar way as this book does, but it
+focusses more on just installing a bootable system instead of a complete
+system.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To decide whether you want to read this book or the P2B HOWTO, you could
+ask yourself this question: Is my main objective to get a working Linux
+system that I'm going to build myself and along the way learn and
+learn what every component of a system is for, or is just the learning
+part your main objective. If you want to build and learn, read this
+book. If you just want to learn, then the P2B HOWTO is probably better
+material to read.
