-<title>Where to store the downloaded software</title>

-<para>Throughout this document, we will assume that all the
-packages that were downloaded are placed somewhere in $LFS/usr/src.</para>
-
-<para>While it doesn't matter at all where you save the downloaded
-packages, we recommend storing it at least on the LFS partition. This
-just makes sense because you need to have access to those those files
-when you chroot to $LFS and when you boot into the LFS system, although
-access when booted to $LFS could be handled other ways. $LFS/usr/src is
-just a logical place to store source code, but by no means a requirement.
-You may even want to create a subdirectory under $LFS/usr/src for tarball
-storage. That way you can separate tarballs from temporary build
-directories, but again that's up to you.</para>
-
-<para>The next chapter contains a list of all the packages that need to be
-downloaded. The LFS partition isn't created yet, so you can't store it
-there yet. Just save it elsewhere for now, and when the LFS partition is
-created, move them over.</para>

-<para>Before you start using the LFS book, we should point out that all
-of the commands here assume that you are using the bash shell. If you
-aren't, the commands may work, but we can't guarantee it. If you want a
-simple life, use bash.</para>
-
-<para>Before you can actually start doing something with a package, you need
-to unpack it first. Often the package files are tar'ed and
-gzip'ed or bzip2'ed. We're not going to write down every time how to
-unpack an archive. We'll explain how to do that once, in this
-section.</para>
-
-<para>To start with, change to the $LFS/usr/src directory by running:</para>
-
-<para><screen><userinput>cd $LFS/usr/src</userinput></screen></para>
-
-<para>If a file is tar'ed and gzip'ed, it is unpacked by
-running either one of the following two commands, depending on the
-filename:</para>
-
-<para><screen><userinput>tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz</userinput>
-<userinput>tar -xvzf filename.tgz</userinput></screen></para>
-
-
-<para>If a file is tar'ed and bzip2'ed, it is unpacked by
-running:</para>
-
-<para><screen><userinput>bzcat filename.tar.bz2 | tar -xv</userinput></screen></para>
-
-<para>Nowadays most tar programs, but not all, are
-patched to be able to use bzip2 files directly. They use either
-the -I, the -y, or the -j parameter, which work the same as the -z
-parameter for handling gzip files. The above construction, however,
-works no matter how your host system decided to patch tar.</para>
-
-<para>If a file is just tar'ed, it is unpacked by running:</para>
-
-<para><screen><userinput>tar -xvf filename.tar</userinput></screen></para>
-
-<para>When an archive is unpacked, a new directory will be created under the
-current directory (and this book assumes that the archives are unpacked
-under the $LFS/usr/src directory). Please enter that new directory
-before continuing with the installation instructions. Again, every time
-this book is going to install a package, it's up to you to unpack the source
-archive and cd into the newly created directory.</para>
-
-<para>From time to time you will be dealing with single files such as patch
-files. These files are generally gzip'ed or bzip2'ed. Before such files
-can be used they need to be uncompressed.</para>
-
-<para>If a file is gzip'ed, it is unpacked by running:</para>
-
-<para><screen><userinput>gunzip filename.gz</userinput></screen></para>
-
-<para>If a file is bzip2'ed, it is unpacked by running:</para>
-
-<para><screen><userinput>bunzip2 filename.bz2</userinput></screen></para>
-
-<para>After a package has been installed, two things can be done with
-it: either the directory that contains the sources can be deleted, or it
-can be kept. We highly recommend deleting it. If you don't do this and
-try to re-use the same source later on in the book (for example re-using
-the source trees from Chapter 5 in Chapter 6), it may not work
-as you expect it to. Source trees from Chapter 5 will have your host
-distribution's settings, which don't always apply to the LFS system
-after you enter the chroot environment. Even running something like
-<emphasis>make clean</emphasis> doesn't always guarantee a clean source
-tree.</para>
-
-<para>So, save yourself a lot of hassle and just remove the source directory
-immediately after you have installed it, but keep the downloaded tarball
-available for when you need it again.</para>
-
-<para>There is one exception; the kernel source tree. Keep it around as you
-will need it later in this book when building a kernel. Nothing before then
-will use the kernel tree, so the source tree won't be in your way. If,
-however, you are short of disk space, you can remove the kernel tree and
-re-untar it later when required.</para>
