2<title>Entering the chroot'ed environment</title>
[a862ce2]3<?dbhtml filename="chroot.html" dir="chapter06"?>
[6370fa6]4
[b822811]5<para>It's time to enter our chroot'ed environment in order to install the
[da9119c]6rest of the software we need. Before you can chroot you need to change to
7the <emphasis>root</emphasis> user since only user
8<emphasis>root</emphasis> can use the <userinput>chroot</userinput>
9command.</para>
[6370fa6]10
[b822811]11<para>Enter the following commands to enter the chroot'ed environment. From
[6370fa6]12this point on there's no need to use the $LFS variable anymore, because
[81a47c0]13everything a user does will be restricted to the LFS partition (since / is
[a2cd10f]14actually /mnt/lfs, but the shell doesn't know that).</para>
[6370fa6]15
[b822811]16<para><screen>&c6-chrootcmd;</screen></para>
[6370fa6]17
[b822811]18<para>The -i option will clear all environment variables for as long as you
[5e2cb65]19are in the chroot'ed environment and only the HOME, TERM, PS1 and PATH
20variables are set. The TERM=$TERM construction will set the TERM variable
21inside chroot to the same value as outside chroot which is needed for
22programs like vim and less to operate properly. If you need other variables
[b822811]23present, such as CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS, you need to set them again.</para>
[4af94fb]24
[b822811]25<para>Now that we are inside a chroot'ed environment, we can continue to
[08463b5b]26install all the basic system software. You have to make sure all the
[81a47c0]27following commands in this and following chapters are run from within the
[607c7370]28chroot'ed environment. If you ever leave this environment for any reason
[24bb7622]29(when rebooting for example) you must remember to enter chroot and mount
30$LFS/proc again (as will be discussed later) before continuing with the
[b822811]31book.</para>
[6370fa6]32
[b822811]33<para>Note that the bash prompt will contain "I have no name!" This is
34normal because Glibc hasn't been installed yet.</para>
