- <title>Who would not want to read this book</title>
- <para>People who don't want to build an entire Linux system from scratch
- probably don't want to read this book. If you, however, want to learn
- more about what happens behind the scenes, in particular what happens
- between turning on the computer and seeing the command prompt, you may
- want to read the <quote>From Power Up To Bash Prompt</quote> (P2B) HOWTO.
- This HOWTO builds a bare system, in way similar to the one this book
- uses, but it focuses more on just installing a bootable system instead
- of a complete system.</para>
- <para>To decide whether to read this book or the P2B HOWTO, ask yourself this
- question: "Is my main objective to get a working Linux system that I'm
- going to build myself and, along the way, learn what every component of
- a system is for, or is just the learning part my main objective?" If
- you want to build and learn, read this book. If you just want to learn
- the basics, then the P2B HOWTO is probably better material to read.</para>
- <para>The <quote>From Power Up To Bash Prompt</quote> HOWTO is located at
- <ulink url="http://www.netspace.net.au/~gok/power2bash/">http://www.netspace.net.au/~gok/power2bash/</ulink></para>
