10<para>Now that a file system has been created, the partition needs to
11be made accessible. In order to do this, the partition needs to be
12mounted at a chosen mount point. For the purposes of this book, it is
13assumed that the file system is mounted under <filename
14class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename>, but the directory choice is up
15to you.</para>
16
17<para>Choose a mount point and assign it to the <envar>LFS</envar>
18environment variable by running:</para>
19
20<screen><userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput></screen>
21
22<para>Next, create the mount point and mount the LFS file system by
23running:</para>
24
25<screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS
26mount /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> $LFS</userinput></screen>
27
28<para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> with the designation of the LFS
29partition.</para>
30
31<para>If using multiple partitions for LFS (e.g., one for <filename
32class="directory">/</filename> and another for <filename
33class="directory">/usr</filename>), mount them using:</para>
34
35<screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS
36mount /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> $LFS
37mkdir $LFS/usr
38mount /dev/<replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> $LFS/usr</userinput></screen>
39
40<para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> and
41<replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> with the appropriate partition
42names.</para>
43
44<para>Ensure that this new partition is not mounted with permissions
45that are too restrictive (such as the nosuid, nodev, or noatime
46options). Run the <command>mount</command> command without any
47parameters to see what options are set for the mounted LFS
48partition. If <parameter>nosuid</parameter>, <parameter>nodev</parameter>,
49and/or <parameter>noatime</parameter> are set, the partition will need
50to be remounted.</para>
51
52<para>Now that there is an established place to work, it is time to
53download the packages.</para>
