<para>As was previously mentioned, building a GNOME desktop from sources is
a significant project. Some may find it too tedious or time-consuming to
perform a full installation following the BLFS book. You may wish to review
the automated methods mentioned in the

Notes</ulink>. Note that using any other method to install
GNOME-&gnome-version;&gnome-minor-version; other than using the BLFS
instructions cannot be supported by the BLFS team. Alternate methods are only
mentioned as a courtesy to builders who would like to build GNOME from
sources but do not have the time/desire/patience/whatever to follow the
BLFS book.</para>
