<para>Throughout this document, we will assume that all the

2001-07-22 20:45:10 +01:00
|
|
|
packages that were downloaded are placed somewhere in $LFS/usr/src.</para>

|
<para>While it doesn't matter at all where you save the downloaded
|
|
|
|
|
packages, we recommend storing it at least on the LFS partition. This just
|
|
|
|
|
makes sense because you would still have access to those files when you boot
|
|
|
|
|
into the LFS system. $LFS/usr/src is just a logical place to store source
|
|
|
|
|
code, but by no means a requirement. You may even want to create a
|
|
|
|
|
subdirectory under $LFS/usr/src for tarball storage. That way you can
|
|
|
|
|
seperate tarballs from temporary build directories, but again that's up
|
|
|
|
|
to you.</para>

<para>The next chapter contains a list of all the packages that need to be
|
|
|
|
|
downloaded. The LFS partition isn't created yet, so you can't store it
|
|
|
|
|
there yet. Just save it elsewhere for now, and when the LFS partition is
|
|
|
|
|
created, move them over.</para>
