| [398f5bd1] | 13 | <para> There are two different ways you can proceed from this point
|
|---|
| 14 | to build the final system. You can build a kernel, a bootloader, and
|
|---|
| 15 | a few other utilities, boot into the temporary system, and build the
|
|---|
| [953b2eb] | 16 | rest there. The other option is to chroot into the temporary system.</para>

| [3f8be484] | 17 |
|
|---|
| [398f5bd1] | 18 | <para>The boot method is for when you are building on a different
|
|---|
| 19 | architecture. For example, if you are building a PowerPC system from
|
|---|
| 20 | an x86, you can't chroot. The chroot method is for when you are
|
|---|
| 21 | building on the same architecture. If you are building on, and for,
|
|---|
| 22 | an x86 system, you can simply chroot. The rule of thumb here is if
|
|---|
| 23 | the architectures match and you are running the same series kernel
|
|---|
| [9aed5b3] | 24 | you can just chroot. If you aren't running the same series kernel, or are
|
|---|
| 25 | wanting to run a different ABI, you will need to use the boot option.</para>
