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. Possible solutions
18 include:</para>
19
20 <itemizedlist>
21
22 <listitem>
23 <para>Simply have the book open on another computer, or even read a
24 printed copy, though one downside to this is that you cannot
25 copy-and-paste commands.</para>
26 </listitem>
27
28 <listitem>
29 <para>Convert the CLFS book into plain text, thus allowing it to be
30 viewed with <command>more</command> or <command>view</command>, by using
31 a command such as the following:</para>
32
33<screen><userinput>lynx -dump /path/to/clfs/book.html &gt; ${CLFS}/root/CLFS-book.txt</userinput></screen>
34
35 </listitem>
36
37 <listitem>
38 <para>Cross-compile and install additional programs before booting,
39 such as Lynx or Links to view the book, or Dropbear to allow remote
40 login. See the CLFS Hints website at <ulink url="&hints-root;"/> for more
41 suggestions by other users.</para>
