<title>Which sections of the book do I want?</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Unlike the LinuxFromScratch book, BLFS isn't designed to be
|
|
followed in a linear manner. This is because LFS provides instructions
|
|
on how to create a base system which is capable of turning into anything
|
|
from a web server to a multimedia desktop system. BLFS is where we try
|
|
to guide you through going from the base system to your intended
|
|
destination and so choice is very much involved.</para>

|
<para>MUCH OF THIS PAGE HAS TO BE RE-WRITTEN TO FIT THE NEW LAYOUT. THE
|
|
OLD TEXT IS STILL IN THE XML SOURCE AND THE NEW TEXT CAN BE BASED ON
|
|
IT.</para>

|
|
<para>Everyone who reads the book will want to read certain sections.
|
|
<xref linkend="part1"/> which you are reading now contains generic
|
|
information. Especially take note of the information
|
|
in <xref linkend="chapter02"/> as this chapter contains comments about
|
|
how to unpack software and various other aspects which apply
|
|
throughout the book.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Most people will want to at least browse through <xref
|
|
linkend="part2"/> as this contains information on general post-LFS
|
|
configuration issues and information on various libraries which are
|
|
needed by many packages. Note that you don't have to install all of
|
|
these libraries to start with, each BLFS install procedure tells you
|
|
which packages it depends upon so you can choose the program you want
|
|
to install and see what it needs.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Likewise, most people will probably want to look at <xref
|
|
linkend="chapter06"/> to deal with connecting to the Internet or your local
|
|
LAN. The basic LFS book deals with setting up a static-ip based
|
|
ethernet connection, all other configurations such as DHCP and dial-up
|
|
internet connections are dealt with in this part of BLFS.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Once you have dealt with these basics, you may wish to configure
|
|
network services such as mail. All of this is dealt with in the
|
|
remainder of <xref linkend="part3"/>. Those wanting to build servers
|
|
should find enough information to give them a good starting point here.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Those creating desktop systems will want to look at the next three
|
|
parts of the book: <xref linkend="part4"/>, <xref linkend="part5"/> and
|
|
<xref linkend="part6"/>.</para>-->

|
<para>We hope you enjoy using BLFS and find it useful.</para>
