13 | <para>It is time to create some structure in the LFS file system. Create a
|
---|
14 | standard directory tree by issuing the following commands:</para>

15 |
|
---|
16 | <screen><userinput>install -dv /{bin,boot,dev,etc/opt,home,lib,mnt}
|
---|
17 | install -dv /{sbin,srv,usr/local,var,opt}

---|
18 | install -dv /root -m 0750
|
---|
19 | install -dv /tmp /var/tmp -m 1777

20 | install -dv /media/{floppy,cdrom}

23 | install -dv /usr/share/{doc,info,locale,man}

24 | install -dv /usr/share/{misc,terminfo,zoneinfo}

---|
25 | install -dv /usr/share/man/man{1..8}

26 | install -dv /usr/local/{bin,etc,include,lib,sbin,share,src}

36 | <para>Directories are, by default, created with permission mode 755, but
|
---|
37 | this is not desirable for all directories. In the commands above, two
|
---|
38 | changes are made—one to the home directory of user <systemitem
|
---|
39 | class="username">root</systemitem>, and another to the directories for
|
---|
40 | temporary files.</para>
|
---|
41 |
|
---|
42 | <para>The first mode change ensures that not just anybody can enter
|
---|
43 | the <filename class="directory">/root</filename> directory—the
|
---|
44 | same as a normal user would do with his or her home directory. The
|
---|
45 | second mode change makes sure that any user can write to the
|
---|
46 | <filename class="directory">/tmp</filename> and <filename
|
---|
47 | class="directory">/var/tmp</filename> directories, but cannot remove
|
---|
48 | another user's files from them. The latter is prohibited by the so-called
|
---|
49 | <quote>sticky bit,</quote> the highest bit (1) in the 1777 bit mask.</para>
|
---|
50 |
|
---|
51 | <note>
|
---|
52 | <para>Notice the two different constructions above for creating multiple
|
---|
53 | man directories: <command>install -d /usr/share/man/man{1..8}</command> and
|
---|
54 | <command>install -d /usr/local/share/man/man{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}</command>. The
|
---|
55 | first one is new since Bash 3.0. This new feature will help make repetitive
|
---|
56 | commands easier to type.</para>

|
---|
61 |
|
---|
62 | <para>The directory tree is based on the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
|
---|
63 | (FHS) (available at <ulink url="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/"/>). In
|
---|
64 | addition to the tree created above, this standard stipulates the existence
|
---|
65 | of <filename class="directory">/usr/local/games</filename> and <filename
|
---|
66 | class="directory">/usr/share/games</filename>. The FHS is not precise as to
|
---|
67 | the structure of the <filename class="directory">/usr/local/share</filename>
|
---|
68 | subdirectory, so we create only the directories that are needed. However,
|
---|
69 | feel free to create these directories if you prefer to conform more strictly
|
---|
70 | to the FHS.</para>
