<title>Introduction</title>

|
|
<para>This chapter shows how to build the last missing bits of the temporary
|
|
system: the tools needed to build the various packages. Now
|
|
that all circular dependencies have been resolved, a <quote>chroot</quote>
|
|
environment, completely isolated from the host operating system (except for
|
|
the running kernel), can be used for the build.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For proper operation of the isolated environment, some communication
|
|
with the running kernel must be established. This is done via the
|
|
so-called <emphasis>Virtual Kernel File Systems</emphasis>, which will be
|
|
mounted before entering the chroot environment. You may want to verify
|
|
that they are mounted by issuing the <command>findmnt</command> command.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Until <xref linkend="ch-tools-chroot"/>, the commands must be
|
|
run as <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>, with the
|
|
<envar>LFS</envar> variable set. After entering chroot, all commands
|
|
are run as &root;, fortunately without access to the OS of the computer
|
|
you built LFS on. Be careful anyway, as it is easy to destroy the whole
|
|
LFS system with bad commands.</para>
