---|
12 | |
---|
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 > ${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> |
