<title>After LFS Configuration Issues</title>
<para>The intention of LFS is to provide a basic system which you can
build upon. There are several things, about tidying up the system, which
many people wonder about once they have done the base install.
We hope to cover these issues in this chapter.</para>
<para>Most people coming from non-Unix like backgrounds to Linux find the
concept of text-only configuration files slightly strange. In Linux, just
about all configuration is done via text files. The majority of these files
can be found in the <filename>/etc</filename> hierarchy. There are often
graphical configuration programs available for different subsystems but most
are simply pretty front ends to the process of editing the file. The advantage
of text-only configuration is that you can edit parameters using your favorite
text editor, whether that be <command>vim</command>,
<command>emacs</command>, or anything else.</para>
<para>The first task is making a recovery diskette because it's the most
critical need. Then the system is configured to ease addition of
new users, in <xref linkend="postlfs-config-bootdisk"/>, because this
can affect the choices you make in the two subsequent topics&mdash;<xref
linkend="postlfs-config-profile"/> and <xref linkend="postlfs-config-vimrc"/>.</para>
<para> The remaining topics, <xref linkend="postlfs-config-logon"/>,
<xref linkend="postlfs-config-shells"/>, <xref linkend="postlfs-config-random"/>,
<xref linkend="compressdoc"/>, <xref linkend="autofs"/>, and
<xref linkend="postlfs-config-netfs"/> are then addressed, in that order. They
don't have much interaction with the other topics in this chapter.</para>
