+<title>Download the LFS Commands</title>
+
+<para>
+LFS Commands is a tarball containing files which list the installation
+commands for the packages installed in this book. These files can be
+used to dump to your shell and install the packages, though some files
+need to be modified (for example when you install the console-tools
+package you need to select your keyboard layout file which can't be guessed).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+These files can be used to quickly find out which commands have been
+changed between the different LFS versions as well. You can download the
+lfs-commands tarball for this book version and the previous book version
+and run a diff on the files. That way you can see which package have
+updated installation instructions so you can modify your own scripts, or
+reinstall a package if you deem necessary.
