11 <title>To Boot or to Chroot?</title>
12
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
16 rest there. The other option is to chroot into the temporary system.</para>
17
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
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>
