| 5 | Let's create the directory tree on the LFS partition based on the FHS
|

|

| 39 | Normally, directories are created with permission mode 755, which isn't
|
|---|
| 40 | desired for all directories. The first change is a mode 0750 for the
|
|---|
| 41 | $LFS/root directory. This is to make sure that not just everybody can
|
|---|
| 42 | enter the /root directory (the same a user would do with /home/username
|
|---|
| 43 | directories). The second change is a mode 1777 for the tmp
|
|---|
| 44 | directories. This way, any user can write data to the /tmp or /var/tmp
|
|---|
| 45 | directory but cannot remove another user's files (the latter is caused
|
|---|
| 46 | by the so-called "sticky bit" - bit 1 of the 1777 bit mask).

| 56 | Now that the directories are created, copy the source files that were
|
|---|
| 57 | downloaded in chapter 3 to some subdirectory under $LFS/usr/src (you
|
|---|
| 58 | will need to create the desired directory yourself).
