    <title>Installation of ksh</title>

    <para>Unlike other BLFS packages, you will need to first create a working
    directory in which to extract the sources and perform the build.  Install
    <application>ksh</application> by running the following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>mkdir ksh &amp;&amp;
cd ksh &amp;&amp;
tar -xf ../INIT.&ksh-version;.tgz &amp;&amp;
tar -xf ../ast-ksh.&ksh-version;.tgz &amp;&amp;
bin/package make</userinput></screen>

    <para>The test suite for this package requires other packages from the
    AT&amp;T ast software library, namely <application>nmake</application>,
    in which case, you'd be better to install the
    <application>ast-base</application> package using the same
    instructions. The <application>package</application> command will accept
    a <parameter>test</parameter> argument to test the package.</para>

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>install -v -m755 arch/linux.i386/bin/ksh /bin &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644 arch/linux.i386/man/man1/sh.1 \
    /usr/share/man/man1/ksh.1 &amp;&amp;
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/ksh-&ksh-version; &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644 lib/package/{ast-ksh,INIT}.html \
