  <title>Welcome to BLFS</title>

  <para>The Beyond Linux From Scratch book is designed to carry on from where
  the LFS book leaves off. But unlike the LFS book, it isn't designed to be
  followed straight through.  Reading the <xref linkend="whichsections"/>
  part of this chapter should help guide you through the book.</para>

  <para>Please read most of this part of the book carefully as it explains
  quite a few of the conventions used throughout the book.</para>
