| 11 | <para>Now that we've created a file system, we want to be able to access
|
|---|
| 12 | the partition. For that, we need to mount it, and have to choose a mount
|
|---|
| 13 | point. In this book we assume that the file system is mounted under
|
|---|
| 14 | <filename class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename>, but it doesn't matter what directory
|
|---|
| 15 | you choose.</para>
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | <para>Choose a mount point and assign it to the LFS environment variable
|
|---|
| 18 | by running:</para>
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | <screen><userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | <para>Now create the mount point and mount the LFS file system by running:</para>
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | <screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS
|
|---|
| 25 | mount /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> $LFS</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | <para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> with the designation of the LFS
|
|---|
| 28 | partition.</para>
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | <para>If you have decided to use multiple partitions for LFS (say one for
|
|---|
| 31 | <filename class="directory">/</filename> and another for
|
|---|
| 32 | <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>), mount them like this:</para>
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | <screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS
|
|---|
| 35 | mount /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> $LFS
|
|---|
| 36 | mkdir $LFS/usr
|
|---|
| 37 | mount /dev/<replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> $LFS/usr</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | <para>Of course, replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> and
|
|---|
| 40 | <replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> with the appropriate partition names.</para>
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | <para>You should also ensure that this new partition is not mounted with
|
|---|
| 43 | permissions that are too restrictive (such as the nosuid, nodev or noatime
|
|---|
| 44 | options). You can run the <command>mount</command> command without any
|
|---|
| 45 | parameters to see with what options the LFS partition is mounted. If
|
|---|
| 46 | you see nosuid, nodev or noatime, you will need to remount it.</para>
|
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 | <para>Now that we've made ourselves a place to work in, we're ready to download
|
|---|
| 49 | the packages.</para>
