5Throughout this document, I will assume that all the
6packages that were downloaded are placed somewhere in $LFS/usr/src.

10I use the convention of having a $LFS/usr/src/sources directory.
11Under sources, I have the directory 0-9 and the directories a
12through z. A package like sysvinit-2.78.tar.gz is stored under
13$LFS/usr/src/sources/s/. A package like bash-2.04.tar.gz is stored under
14$LFS/usr/src/sources/b/, and so forth. This convention does not have to be
15followed, of course; I was just giving an example. It's better to keep
16the packages out of $LFS/usr/src and move them to a subdirectory, so
17we'll have a clean $LFS/usr/src directory in which we will unpack the
18packages and work with them.

22The next chapter contains the list of all the packages that need to be
23downloaded,
24but the partition that is going to contain our LFS system isn't created yet.
25Therefore, the files are temporarily stored somewhere else (it's up to
26you to decide where this 'else' is) and later moved to $LFS/usr/src/ when
27the chapter in which the new partition is prepared has been finished.
