6<para>It is recommended to build E2fsprogs outside of the

18
19<itemizedlist>
20
21<listitem><para><userinput>--with-root-prefix="":</userinput> This option
22is used because of the e2fsprogs Makefile. Some programs are essential for
23system use when, for example, <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>
24isn't mounted (like the e2fsck program). These programs and libraries,
25therefore, belong in directories like <filename
26class="directory">/lib</filename> and <filename
27class="directory">/sbin</filename>. If this option isn't passed to
28E2fsprogs's configure, the programs are placed in the <filename
29class="directory">/usr</filename> directory, which is not what we
30want.</para></listitem>
