-<para>
-<userinput>--enable-static-link:</userinput> This configure
-option causes Bash to be linked statically
-</para>
-
-<para>
-<userinput>--prefix=$LFS/usr:</userinput> This configure option installs
-all of Bash's files under the $LFS/usr directory, which becomes the /usr
-directory after you chroot into $LFS or when you reboot the system into LFS.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-<userinput>--bindir=$LFS/bin:</userinput> This installs the executable
-files in $LFS/bin. We do this because we want bash to be in /bin, not in
-/usr/bin. One reason being: your /usr partition might be on a seperate
-partition which has to be mounted at some point. Before that partition is
-mounted you need and will want to have bash available (it will be hard to
-execute the boot scripts without a shell for instance).
-</para>
-
-<para>
-<userinput>--disable-nls:</userinput> This disables the build of NLS
-(National Language Support). It's only a waste of time for now as Bash
-will be reinstalled in the next chapter.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-<userinput>--with-curses:</userinput> This causes Bash to be linked
-against the curses library instead of the default termcap library which
-is becoming obsolete.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-<userinput>ln -s bash sh:</userinput> This command creates the sh
-symlink that points to bash. Most scripts run themselves via 'sh'
-(invoked by the #!/bin/sh as the first line in the scripts) which
-invokes a special bash mode. Bash will then behave (as closely as
-possible) as the original Bourne shell.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The <userinput>&amp;&amp;</userinput>'s at the end of every line cause
-the next command only to be executed when the previous command exists
-with a return value of 0 indicating success. In case you copy&amp;paste
-all of these commands on the shell you want to be ensured that if
-./configure fails, make isn't being executed and likewise if make fails
-that make install isn't being executed, and so forth.
