<title>Creating $LFS/root/.bash_profile</title>
<para>
When we have entered the chroot'ed environment in the next section we
want to export a couple of environment variables in that shell such as
PS1, PATH and others variables a user wants to have set. For that
purpose we'll
create the $LFS/root/.bash_profile file which will be read by bash when we
enter the chroot environment.
</para>
<para>
Create a new file <filename>$LFS/root/.bash_profile</filename>
by running the following.
</para>
<literallayout>
<userinput>cat &gt; $LFS/root/.bash_profile &lt;&lt; "EOF"</userinput>
# Begin /root/.bash_profile
PS1='\u:\w\$ '
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
export PS1 PATH
# End /root/.bash_profile
<userinput>EOF</userinput>
</literallayout>
<para>
More environment variables,aliases and whatever else is
needed/wanted can be added at the users own discretion
as he deems them necessary.
