+ <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>
