I am not quite sure what you're asking here. If you mean adding Lynx or Links to the base LFS build, I don't agree with that. Besides, as I pointed out earlier, the end of LFS does in fact already suggest going to BLFS and installing (among other things) a text web browser before leaving the chroot environment...it even specifically mentions that this would be useful for reading BLFS in the new LFS system. I think this is enough...LFS already does enough of a job explaining every detail, and many users don't even read what text is there already... http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter09/reboot.html However, you should be aware of a few things. The system you have created in this book is quite minimal, and most likely will not have the functionality you would need to be able to continue forward. By installing a few extra packages from the BLFS book while still in our current chroot environment, you can leave yourself in a much better position to continue on once you reboot into your new LFS installation. Installing a text mode web browser, such as Lynx, you can easily view the BLFS book in one virtual terminal, while building packages in another. Personally, I think that's fine (other than a single grammar nitpick...I think that last sentence should start with "BY installing..."), but do you think this isn't clear enough?
