5When 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.

31The PS1 variable is an environment variable that controls the appearance of
32the command prompt. See the bash man page for details how this variable
33is constructed. Additional environment variables, aliases and so forth that are
34needed and/or wanted can be added at your own discretion.
