    10 <para>Now that we've created a file system, we want to be able to access
    11 the partition. For that, we need to mount it, and have to choose a mount
    12 point. In this book we assume that the file system is mounted under
    13 <filename class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename>, but it doesn't matter what directory
    14 you choose.</para>
     10<para>Now that a file system has been created, the partition needs to
     11be made accessible. In order to do this, the partition needs to be
