	Linux From Scratch 12.0/prologue_why — Greek	Rationale for Packages in the Book
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/prologue_why — Greek	The goal of LFS is to build a complete and usable foundation-level system—including all the packages needed to replicate itself—and providing a relatively minimal base from which to customize a more complete system based on the user's choices. This does not mean that LFS is the smallest system possible. Several important packages are included that are not, strictly speaking, required. The list below documents the reasons each package in the book has been included.
