## Structure

This book is divided into the following four parts:

### Part I - Introduction

Part I explains a few important things on how to proceed with the installation, and gives meta-information about the book (version, changelog, acknowledgments, associated mailing lists, and so on).

### Part II - Preparing for the build

Part II describes how to prepare for the building process: making a partition, downloading the packages, and compiling temporary tools.

### Part III - Building the LFS system

Part III guides you through the building of the LFS system: compiling and installing all the packages one by one, setting up the boot scripts, and installing the kernel. The resulting basic Linux system is the foundation upon which you can build other software, to extend your system in the way you like. At the end of the book you'll find a list of all of the programs, libraries and important files that have been installed as an easy to use reference.
