+ <para>Well done! The new LFS system is installed! We wish you much
+ success with your shiny new custom-built Linux system.</para>
+
+ <para>It may be a good idea to create an
+ <filename>/etc/lfs-release</filename> file. By having this file, it is very
+ easy for you (and for us if you need to ask for help at some point) to find
+ out which LFS version is installed on the system. Create this file by
+ running:</para>
+
+<screen revision="sysv"><userinput>echo &version; &gt; /etc/lfs-release</userinput></screen>
+
+<screen revision="systemd"><userinput>echo &versiond; &gt; /etc/lfs-release</userinput></screen>
+
+ <para>Two files describing the installed system may be used by packages
+ that will be installed on the system, either in binary form or by building
+ them.</para>
+
+ <para>The first one shows the status of your
+ new system with respect to the Linux Standards Base (LSB). To create
+ this file, run:</para>
+
+<screen revision="sysv"><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/lsb-release &lt;&lt; "EOF"
+DISTRIB_ID="Linux From Scratch"
+DISTRIB_RELEASE="&version;"
+DISTRIB_CODENAME="&lt;your name here&gt;"
+DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux From Scratch"
+EOF</userinput></screen>
+
+<screen revision="systemd"><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/lsb-release &lt;&lt; "EOF"
+DISTRIB_ID="Linux From Scratch"
+DISTRIB_RELEASE="&versiond;"
+DISTRIB_CODENAME="&lt;your name here&gt;"
+DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux From Scratch"
+EOF</userinput></screen>
+
+ <para>The second one contains roughly the same information, and is used
+ by systemd and some graphical desktop environments. To create
+ this file, run:</para>
+
+<screen revision="sysv"><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/os-release &lt;&lt; "EOF"
+NAME="Linux From Scratch"
+VERSION="&version;"
+ID=lfs
+PRETTY_NAME="Linux From Scratch &version;"
+VERSION_CODENAME="&lt;your name here&gt;"
+EOF</userinput></screen>
+
+<screen revision="systemd"><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/os-release &lt;&lt; "EOF"
+NAME="Linux From Scratch"
+VERSION="&versiond;"
+ID=lfs
+PRETTY_NAME="Linux From Scratch &versiond;"
+VERSION_CODENAME="&lt;your name here&gt;"
+EOF</userinput></screen>
+
+ <para>Be sure to put some sort of customization for the fields
+ 'DISTRIB_CODENAME' and 'VERSION_CODENAME' to make the system uniquely
+ yours.</para>
