[387a32af] | 13 | <para>This chapter shows how to build the last missing bits of the temporary
|

[52ddd6c] | 14 | system: the tools needed to build the various packages. Now
|

[305c970] | 15 | that all circular dependencies have been resolved, a <quote>chroot</quote>
|

| 16 | environment, completely isolated from the host operating system (except for

| 17 | the running kernel), can be used for the build.</para>

| 19 | <para>For proper operation of the isolated environment, some communication
|
---|
[52ddd6c] | 20 | with the running kernel must be established. This is done via the
|

[a8f3814a] | 21 | so-called <emphasis>Virtual Kernel File Systems</emphasis>, which will be
|
---|
[52ddd6c] | 22 | mounted before entering the chroot environment. You may want to verify
|

| 23 | that they are mounted by issuing the <command>findmnt</command> command.</para>
