  <title>How to View the Book</title>

  <para>Most likely, you have been using a web browser or PDF viewer to read
  the CLFS book so far. However, the temporary system in
  <filename class="directory">/tools</filename> does not have
  any of these, so you will need to find a way to continue following the book
  after booting into the temporary build environment. One possibility might
  be to simply have the book open on another computer, or even read a printed
  copy, though one downside to this is that you cannot copy-and-paste commands.
  Another solution could be to convert the CLFS book into plain text, thus
  allowing it to be viewed with <command>more</command>, by using a command
  such as the following:</para>

<screen><userinput>lynx -dump /path/to/clfs/book.html &gt; ${CLFS}/root/CLFS-book.txt</userinput></screen>

  <para>Other possible solutions include cross-compiling and installing
  additional programs before booting, such as Lynx or Links to view the book,
  or OpenSSH to allow remote login. See the CLFS Hints website at
  <ulink url="http://hints.cross-lfs.org"/> for more suggestions that other
  users have come up with.</para>
