<title>How to download the software</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Throughout this document, I will assume that all the
|
|
packages that were downloaded are placed somewhere in $LFS/usr/src.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>I use the convention of having a $LFS/usr/src/sources directory.
|
|
Under sources, I have the directory 0-9 and the directories a
|
|
through z. A package like sysvinit-&sysvinit-version;.tar.bz2 is stored under
|
|
$LFS/usr/src/sources/s/. A package like bash-&bash-version;.tar.bz2 is stored
|
|
under $LFS/usr/src/sources/b/, and so forth. This convention does not have to
|
|
be followed, of course; I was just giving an example. It's better to keep
|
|
the packages out of $LFS/usr/src and move them to a subdirectory, so
|
|
we'll have a clean $LFS/usr/src directory in which we will unpack the
|
|
packages and work with them.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The next chapter contains the list of all the packages that need to be
|
|
downloaded,
|
|
but the partition that is going to contain our LFS system isn't created yet.
|
|
Therefore, the files are temporarily stored somewhere else (it's up to
|
|
you to decide where this 'else' is) and later moved to $LFS/usr/src/ when
|
|
the chapter in which the new partition is prepared has been finished.</para>
