<title>Who Would Want to Read this Book</title>
<para>
This book is mainly aimed at those who have built a system based
on the LFS book. It will also be useful for those who are using other
distributions, and for one reason or another want to manually build
software and need some assistance. Note that the material
in this book, in particular the dependency listings,
assumes that you are using a basic LFS system with every
package listed in the LFS book already installed and configured. BLFS can
be used to create a range of diverse systems and so the target audience is
probably as wide as that of the LFS book. If you found LFS useful,
you should also like this!
</para>
<para>
Since Release 7.4, the BLFS book version has matched the LFS book version.
This book may be incompatible with a previous or later release of the LFS
book.
This book is aimed towards users who want to use a system following
the Linux From Scratch book but also want to use Steam and/or Wine.
The official Linux From Scratch and Beyond Linux From Scratch books
do not support, and the maintainers do not wish to support, these two
packages for the forseeable future. However, users should still have
both the choice, and an easy to follow guide, to get these packages
working on their system.
