- <para>In this chapter we enter the building site, and start
- constructing our LFS system in earnest. That is, we chroot into
- our temporary mini Linux system, create some auxiliary things,
- and then start installing all the packages, one by one.</para>
-
- <para>The installation of all the software is pretty straightforward, and
- you will probably think it would be so much easier and shorter to give
- the generic installation instructions for a package here and only explain
- in full the installation of those packages that require an alternate
- method. Although we agree with that, we choose to give the
- full instructions for each and every package, simply to avoid any
- possible confusion and errors.</para>
- <para>If you plan to use compiler optimization for the packages
- installed in this chapter, take a look at the optimization hint
- at <ulink url="&hints-root;optimization.txt"/>.
- Compiler optimization can make a program run
- faster, but may also cause compilation problems. If you run into problems
- when using optimization, always try it without optimization to see if
- the problem persists.</para>
- <para>Please refrain from installing more than one package at a time, even
- if it may save you time (especially with dual CPU machines). If you install
- the wrong package at the wrong time, it may hard-wire program paths to
- <filename class="directory">$LFS/static</filename> which will cause the
- programs to stop working once the static directory is removed. The order
- packages are installed in this chapter have to be followed exactly to be
- sure nothing is hard-wiring the static paths.</para>
