10<para>Throughout this book the environment variable LFS will be used several
11times. It is paramount that this variable is always defined. It should be set
12to the mount point you chose for your LFS partition. Check that your LFS
13variable is set up properly with:</para>
14
15<screen><userinput>echo $LFS</userinput></screen>
16
17<para>Make sure the output shows the path to your LFS partition's mount
18point, which is <filename class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename> if you
19followed our example. If the output is wrong, you can always set the variable
20with:</para>
21
22<screen><userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput></screen>
23
24<para>Having this variable set means that if you are told to run a command like
25<command>mkdir $LFS/tools</command>, you can type it literally. Your shell
26will replace <quote>$LFS</quote> with <quote>/mnt/lfs</quote> (or whatever
27you set the variable to) when it processes the command line.</para>
28
29<para>Don't forget to check that <quote>$LFS</quote> is set whenever you leave and
30reenter the environment (as when doing a <quote>su</quote> to root or another user).
