  <title>Rebooting the System</title>
  <para>
    Now that all of the software has been installed, it is time to reboot
    your computer. However, there are still a few things to check.
    Here are some suggestions:</para>


<!--
  The system you
  have created in this book is quite minimal, and most likely will not have
  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. Here are some suggestions:</para>
-->
  <itemizedlist>
<!--
    <listitem><para>A text mode browser such as <ulink
    url='&blfs-book;basicnet/lynx.html'>Lynx</ulink>
    will allow you to easily view the BLFS book in one virtual terminal, while
    building packages in another.</para></listitem>

    <listitem><para>The <ulink
    url='&blfs-book;postlfs/make-ca.html'>make-ca</ulink> package
    will allow you to set up local trusted anchor certificates, allowing
    the system to verify SSL certificates provided by remote servers (for
    example, a website using HTTPS).</para></listitem>

    <listitem><para>The <ulink
    url='&blfs-book;general/gpm.html'>GPM</ulink> package will allow
    you to perform copy/paste actions in your virtual
    terminals.</para></listitem>

    <listitem revision="sysv"><para>
    If you are in a situation where static IP configuration
    does not meet your networking requirements, installing a package
    such as <ulink url='&blfs-book;basicnet/dhcpcd.html'>dhcpcd</ulink>
    or the client portion of <ulink
    url='&blfs-book;basicnet/dhcp.html'>dhcp</ulink> may be
    useful.</para></listitem>

    <listitem><para>Installing <ulink
    url='&blfs-book;postlfs/sudo.html'>sudo</ulink> may be useful for
    building packages as a non-&root; user and easily installing the
    resulting packages in your new system.</para></listitem>

    <listitem><para>If you want to access your new system from a remote system
    within a comfortable GUI environment, install <ulink
    url='&blfs-book;postlfs/openssh.html'>openssh</ulink>.</para></listitem>

    <listitem><para>To make fetching files over the internet easier, install
    <ulink url='&blfs-book;basicnet/wget.html'>wget</ulink>.</para></listitem>

    <listitem><para>To connect to a wireless access point for networking,
    install <ulink
    url='&blfs-book;basicnet/wpa_supplicant.html'>wpa_supplicant</ulink>.
    </para></listitem>
-->
    <listitem>
      <para>
        Install any <ulink
        url='&blfs-book;postlfs/firmware.html'>firmware</ulink> needed if the
        kernel driver for your hardware requires some firmware files to function
        properly.
      </para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
      <para>
        Ensure a password is set for the &root; user.
      </para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
      <para>
        A review of the following configuration files
        is also appropriate at this point.
      </para>

      <itemizedlist>
        <listitem><para>/etc/bashrc                  </para></listitem>
        <listitem><para>/etc/dircolors               </para></listitem>

        <listitem><para>/etc/profile                 </para></listitem>

        <listitem revision="sysv"><para>/etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.eth0 </para></listitem>
      </itemizedlist>
    </listitem>
  </itemizedlist>

  <para>Now that we have said that, let's move on to booting our shiny new LFS
  installation for the first time! <emphasis>First exit from the chroot 
  environment</emphasis>:</para>

<screen><userinput>logout</userinput></screen>
<!-- We need to show the user the details...-->

  <para>Then unmount the virtual file systems:</para>

<screen><userinput>umount -v $LFS/dev/pts
mountpoint -q $LFS/dev/shm &amp;&amp; umount $LFS/dev/shm
umount -v $LFS/dev
umount -v $LFS/run
umount -v $LFS/proc
umount -v $LFS/sys</userinput></screen>

  <para>If multiple partitions were created, unmount the other
  partitions before unmounting the main one, like this:</para>

<screen role="nodump"><userinput>umount -v $LFS/home
umount -v $LFS</userinput></screen>

  <para>Unmount the LFS file system itself:</para>

<screen role="nodump"><userinput>umount -v $LFS</userinput></screen>

  <para>Now, reboot the system.</para>

<!-- Commented out because we don't have a host system requirement on
     its init, and different init system may recommend different commands
     for reboot.  -->
<!--<screen role="nodump"><userinput>shutdown -r now</userinput></screen>-->

  <para>Assuming the GRUB boot loader was set up as outlined earlier, the menu
  is set to boot <emphasis>LFS &version;</emphasis> automatically.</para>

  <para>When the reboot is complete, the LFS system is ready for use.  What you
  will see is a simple <quote>login: </quote> prompt.  At this point, you can
  proceed to <ulink url="&blfs-book;">the BLFS Book</ulink>
  where you can add more software to suit your needs.</para>

  <para>
    If your reboot is <emphasis role="bold">not</emphasis> successful, it
    is time to troubleshoot.  For hints on solving initial booting problems, see
    <ulink url="https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/troubleshooting.html"/>.
