5<para>Now that we've created a file system, we want to be able to access
6the partition. For that, we need to mount it, and have to choose a mount
7point. In this book we assume that the file system is mounted under
8<filename>/mnt/lfs</filename>, but it doesn't matter what directory
9you choose.</para>
10
11<para>Choose a mount point and assign it to the LFS environment variable
12by running:</para>
13
14<para><screen><userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput></screen></para>
15
16<para>Now create the mount point and mount the LFS file system by running:</para>
17
18<para><screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS
19mount /dev/xxx $LFS</userinput></screen></para>
20
21<para>Replace <filename>xxx</filename> with the designation of the LFS
22partition.</para>
23
24<para>If you have decided to use multiple partitions for LFS (say one for
25<filename>/</filename> and another for <filename>/usr</filename>), mount
26them like this:</para>
27
28<para><screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS
29mount /dev/xxx $LFS
30mkdir $LFS/usr
31mount /dev/yyy $LFS/usr</userinput></screen></para>
32
33<para>Of course, replace <filename>xxx</filename> and <filename>yyy</filename>
34with the appropriate partition names.</para>
35
36<para>You should also ensure that this new partition doesn't mount with
37permissions which are too restrictive (such as the nosuid or nodev options).
38You can run the mount command with no parameters to see what options are in use.
39If you see nosuid or nodev on the LFS partition, you need to change your mount
40options.</para>
41
42<para>Now that we've made ourselves a place to work in, we're ready to download
43the packages.</para>
