5<para>When we have entered the chroot'ed environment in the next section we
6want to export a couple of environment variables in that shell such as
7PS1, PATH and others variables which are good to have set. For that
8purpose we'll create the $LFS/root/.bash_profile file which will be read
9by bash when we enter the chroot environment.</para>
