[06f6a34]13 <para>Building a CLFS system is not a simple task. It requires a certain
[3f8be484]14 level of existing knowledge of Unix system administration in order to
15 resolve problems, and correctly execute the commands listed. In particular,
16 as an absolute minimum, the reader should already have the ability to use
17 the command line (shell) to copy or move files and directories, list
18 directory and file contents, and change the current directory. It is also
19 expected that the reader has a reasonable knowledge of using and installing
[fed084f3]20 Linux software. A basic knowledge of the architectures being used in
21 the Cross LFS process and the host operating systems in use is also
[07621da]22 required.</para>
[3f8be484]23
[fed084f3]24 <para>Because the CLFS book assumes <emphasis>at least</emphasis> this basic
[fb40919]25 level of skill, the various CLFS support forums are unlikely to be able to
[1c514e4]26 provide you with much assistance. Your questions regarding such basic knowledge
27 will likely go unanswered, or you will be referred to the CLFS essential
28 pre-reading list.</para>

[fed084f3]30 <para>Before building a CLFS system, we recommend reading the following

[3f8be484]52 It includes a list of links to excellent sources of information on a
