  17. <para>This package has a test suite available which performs a number of
  18. checks to ensure it will function correctly. It's worth noting that Autoconf
  19. does not play a critical role in the overall operation of an LFS system. In
  20. addition, the Autoconf test suite runs for quite a long period of time.
  21. Accordingly, the running of the test suite here is not crucial. Should you
  22. choose to run the Autoconf test suite, the following command will do
  23. so:</para>
