<title>Organization</title>
<?dbhtml filename="organization.html" dir="preface"?>
-<para>Much of the appendices are integrated into Part II (which enlarges the
-book somewhat). We believe this makes for easier reading. This way, you
-don't have to keep referencing an appendix while you read Part II. That's
-a real chore, especially if you're reading the txt version of this book.
-This book is divided into the following parts:</para>
-
-&pf-oz-organpart1;
-&pf-oz-organpart2;
-&pf-oz-organpart3;
+<para>This book is divided into the following four parts:</para>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Part I - Introduction</title>
+
+<para>Part I explains a few important things on how to proceed with the
+installation, and gives meta information about the book (version, changelog,
+acknowledgments, associated mailing lists, and so on).</para>
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Part II - Preparing for the build</title>
+
+<para>Part II describes how to prepare for the building process: making a
+partition, downloading the packages, and compiling temporary tools.</para>
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Part III - Building the LFS system</title>
+
+<para>Part III guides you through the building of the LFS system: compiling
+and installing all the packages one by one, setting up the boot scripts, and
+installing the kernel. The resulting basic Linux system is the foundation
+upon which you can build other software, to extend your system in the way
+you like.</para>
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Part IV - Appendix</title>
+
+<para>Part IV for the moment consists of just a single appendix: an alphabetical
+list of all the packages installed, for each package giving its official download
+location, its contents, and its installation dependencies.</para>
+
+<para>(Much of this Appendix A is integrated into Parts II and III. This
+enlarges the book somewhat, but we believe it makes for easier reading. Now
+you don't have to keep referencing the appendix while doing the installation.
+This going back and forth would be a real chore, especially if you're reading
+the txt version of the book.)</para>
