13 <para>Most likely, you have been using a web browser or PDF viewer to read
14 the CLFS book so far. However, the temporary system in
15 <filename class="directory">/tools</filename> does not have
16 any of these, so you will need to find a way to continue following the book
17 after booting into the temporary build environment. One possibility might
18 be to simply have the book open on another computer, or even read a printed
19 copy, though one downside to this is that you cannot copy-and-paste commands.
20 Another solution could be to convert the CLFS book into plain text, thus
21 allowing it to be viewed with <command>more</command>, by using a command
22 such as the following:</para>
23
24<screen><userinput>lynx -dump /path/to/clfs/book.html &gt; ${CLFS}/root/CLFS-book.txt</userinput></screen>
25
26 <para>Other possible solutions include cross-compiling and installing
27 additional programs before booting, such as Lynx or Links to view the book,
28 or OpenSSH to allow remote login. See the CLFS Hints website at
29 <ulink url="http://hints.cross-lfs.org"/> for more suggestions that other
30 users have come up with.</para>
