| 45 | installation will not be affected.</para>

| 47 | <para>The last two commands make you exit and re-enter the chroot'ed
|
|---|
| 48 | environment. This is done to get rid of the "I have
|
|---|
| 49 | no name!" message in the command prompt, which was caused by bash's
|
|---|
| 50 | inability to resolve a userid to a username (which in turn was caused by
|
|---|
| 51 | the missing Glibc installation).</para>
