| 13 | <para>It is time to enter the chroot environment to begin building and
|
|---|
| 14 | installing the final LFS system. As user <systemitem
|
|---|
| 15 | class="username">root</systemitem>, run the following command to enter the
|
|---|
| 16 | realm that is, at the moment, populated with only the temporary tools:</para>

| 17 |
|

| 18 | <screen><userinput>chroot "$LFS" /tools/bin/env -i \
|
|---|
| 19 | HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
|
|---|
| 20 | PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin \
|
|---|
| 21 | /tools/bin/bash --login +h</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | <para>The <parameter>-i</parameter> option given to the <command>env</command>
|
|---|
| 24 | command will clear all variables of the chroot environment. After that, only
|
|---|
| 25 | the <envar>HOME</envar>, <envar>TERM</envar>, <envar>PS1</envar>, and
|
|---|
| 26 | <envar>PATH</envar> variables are set again. The
|
|---|
| 27 | <parameter>TERM=$TERM</parameter> construct will set the <envar>TERM</envar>
|
|---|
| 28 | variable inside chroot to the same value as outside chroot. This variable is
|
|---|
| 29 | needed for programs like <command>vim</command> and <command>less</command>
|
|---|
| 30 | to operate properly. If other variables are needed, such as
|
|---|
| 31 | <envar>CFLAGS</envar> or <envar>CXXFLAGS</envar>, this is a good place to set
|
|---|
| 32 | them again.</para>
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | <para>From this point on, there is no need to use the
|
|---|
| 35 | <envar>LFS</envar> variable anymore, because all work will be restricted
|
|---|
| 36 | to the LFS file system. This is because the Bash shell is told that
|
|---|
| 37 | <filename class="directory">$LFS</filename> is now the root
|
|---|
| 38 | (<filename class="directory">/</filename>) directory.</para>
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | <para>Notice that <filename class="directory">/tools/bin</filename> comes last
|
|---|
| 41 | in the <envar>PATH</envar>. This means that a temporary tool will no longer be
|
|---|
| 42 | used once its final version is installed. This occurs when the shell does not
|
|---|
| 43 | <quote>remember</quote> the locations of executed binaries—for this
|
|---|
| 44 | reason, hashing is switched off by passing the <parameter>+h</parameter> option
|
|---|
| 45 | to <command>bash</command>.</para>
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | <para>Note that the <command>bash</command> prompt will say
|
|---|
| 48 | <computeroutput>I have no name!</computeroutput> This is normal because the
|
|---|
| 49 | <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> file has not been created yet.</para>

|
|---|
| 51 | <note>
|
|---|
| 52 | <para>It is important that all the commands throughout the remainder of this
|
|---|
| 53 | chapter and the following chapters are run from within the chroot
|
|---|
| 54 | environment. If you leave this environment for any reason (rebooting for
|
|---|
| 55 | example), ensure that the virtual kernel filesystems are mounted as
|
|---|
| 56 | explained in <xref linkend="ch-system-bindmount"/> and <xref
|
|---|
| 57 | linkend="ch-system-kernfsmount"/> and enter chroot again before continuing
|
|---|
| 58 | with the installation.</para>
