+ Building LFS in Stages
+
+ LFS is designed to be built in one session. That is, the
+ instructions assume that the system will not be shut down
+ during the process. That does not mean that the system has to
+ be done in one sitting. The issue is that certain procedures
+ have to be re-accomplished after a reboot if resuming LFS at
+ different points.
+
+
+ Chapters 1-4
+
+ These chapters are accomplished on the host system. When
+ restarting, be careful of the following:
+
+
+
+ Procedures done as the root user after Section 2.4 need to
+ have the LFS environment variable set FOR THE ROOT
+ USER.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Chapter 5
+
+
+
+ The /mnt/lfs partition must be mounted.
+
+
+
+ ALL instructions in Chapter 5
+ must be done by user lfs.
+ A su - lfs needs to be done before any
+ task in Chapter 5.
+
+
+
+ The procedures in
+ are critical. If there is any
+ doubt about installing a package, ensure any previously expanded
+ tarballs are removed, re-extract the package files, and complete all
+ instructions in that section.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Chapters 6-8
+
+
+
+ The /mnt/lfs partition must be mounted.
+
+
+
+ When entering chroot, the LFS environment variable must be set
+ for root. The LFS variable is not used otherwise.
+
+
+
+ The virtual file systems must be mounted. This can be done
+ before or after entering chroot by changing to a host virtual terminal
+ and, as root, running the commands in
+ and
+ .
