+<title>How to download the software</title>
+
+<para>
+Throughout this document I will assume that you have stored all the
+packages you have downloaded somewhere in $LFS/usr/src.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+I use the convention of having a $LFS/usr/src/sources directory.
+Under sources you'll find the directory 0-9 and the directories a
+through z. A package as sysvinit-2.78.tar.gz is stored under
+$LFS/usr/src/sources/s/ A package as bash-2.04.tar.gz is stored under 
+$LFS/usr/src/sources/b/ and so forth. You don't have to follow this 
+convention 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 you need to download,
+but the partition that is going to contain our LFS system isn't created yet.
+Therefore store the files temporarily somewhere where you want and remember
+to copy them to $LFS/usr/src/ when you have finished the chapter in which 
+you prepare a new partition (chapter 4).
