  10. <para>This chapter shows how to build a minimal Linux system.
  11. This system will contain just enough tools to start constructing the final
  12. LFS system in <xref linkend="chapter-building-system"/> and allow a working
  13. environment with more user convenience than a minimum environment would.</para>
  14. <para>There are two steps in building this minimal system. The first step
  15. is to build a new and host-independent toolchain (compiler, assembler,
  16. linker, libraries, and a few useful utilities). The second step uses this
  17. toolchain to build the other essential tools.</para>

  19. <para>The files compiled in this chapter will be installed under the
  20. <filename class="directory">$LFS</filename> directory to keep them
  21. separate from the files installed in the next chapter and the host
  22. production directories. Since the packages compiled here are temporary,
  23. we do not want them to pollute the soon-to-be LFS system.</para>
