13 <para>Building an LFS system is not a simple task. It requires a certain
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
20 Linux software.</para>
21
22 <para>Because the LFS book assumes <emphasis>at least</emphasis> this basic
23 level of skill, the various LFS support forums are unlikely to be able to
24 provide you with much assistance; you will find that your questions regarding
25 such basic knowledge will likely go unanswered, or you will simply be referred
26 to the LFS essential pre-reading list.</para>
