I don't think that anything really _needs_ to be added to the note.  IMO
it is clear enough and the instructions are rather self-explanatory.

From own experience I can say that it pays to carefully read the
instructions and to insist on trying to understand them.  Man/info-pages
often provide invaluable help here.

And then there is always the golden rule for success in building an
LFS/BLFS-system: FBBG (Follow Book, Book Good)! ;)
