<title>Creating the Minimal directory layout in LFS filesystem</title>
<para>The first task performed in the LFS partition is to create a minimal
directory hierarchy so that programs compiled in <xref
linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> may be installed in their final
location. This is needed so that those temporary programs be overwritten
when rebuilding them in <xref linkend="chapter-building-system"/>.</para>
<para>Create the required directory layout by running the following as
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>:</para>
<screen><userinput>mkdir -pv $LFS/{usr,lib,var,etc,bin,sbin,lib64}</userinput></screen>
<para>Programs in <xref linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> will be compiled
with a cross-compiler (more details in section <xref
linkend="ch-tools-toolchaintechnotes"/>). In order to separate this
cross-compiler from the other programs, it will be installed in a special
directory. Create this directory with:</para>
<screen><userinput>mkdir -pv $LFS/tools</userinput></screen>
