    13   <para os="a">In this chapter, we enter the building site and start
    14   constructing the CLFS system in earnest. The installation of this
    15   software is straightforward. Although in many cases the installation
    16   instructions could be made shorter and more generic, we have opted
    17   to provide the full instructions for every package to minimize the
    18   possibilities for mistakes.  The key to learning what makes a Linux
    19   system work is to know what each package is used for and why the user
    20   (or the system) needs it.  For every installed package, a summary of
    21   its contents is given, followed by concise descriptions of each
    22   program and library the package installed.</para>

    42   be strictly followed to ensure that no program accidentally acquires a

    44   hard-wired into it. For the same reason, do not compile packages in
    45   parallel. Compiling in parallel may save time (especially on dual-CPU
    46   machines), but it could result in a program containing a hard-wired
