-<para>Let's now create the directory tree on the LFS partition based on
-the FHS standard, which can be found at

-Issuing the following commands will create a default directory layout:</para>

-<para><screen><userinput>cd $LFS &amp;&amp;
-mkdir -p bin boot dev/pts etc/opt home lib mnt proc root sbin tmp var opt &amp;&amp;

-<para>Normally, directories are created with permission mode 755, which isn't
-desired for all directories. The first change is a mode 0750 for the
-$LFS/root directory. This is to make sure that not just everybody can
-enter the /root directory (the same a user would do with /home/username
-directories). The second change is a mode 1777 for the tmp
-directories. This way, any user can write data to the /tmp or /var/tmp
-directory but cannot remove another user's files (the latter is caused
-by the so-called "sticky bit" - bit 1 of the 1777 bit mask).</para>

-<para><screen><userinput>cd $LFS &amp;&amp;
-chmod 0750 root &amp;&amp;
-chmod 1777 tmp var/tmp</userinput></screen></para>

-<title>FHS compliance notes</title>

-<para>The FHS stipulates that the /usr/local directory should contain the
-bin, games, include, lib, man, sbin, and share subdirectories. You can
-alter your /usr/local directory yourself if you want your system to be
-FHS-compliant.</para>
-
-<para>Also, the standard says that there should exist a /usr/share/games
-directory, which we don't much like for a base system. But feel free to
-make your system FHS-compliant if you wish. The FHS isn't precise as
-to the structure of the /usr/local/share subdirectories, so we took the
-liberty of creating the directories that we felt were needed.</para>

-<title>Why we copy the kernel headers and don't symlink them</title>
-
-<para>In the past, it was common practice for people to symlink the
-/usr/include/linux and asm directories to /usr/src/linux/include/linux
-and asm respectively. This is a <emphasis>bad</emphasis> idea as
-this extract from a post by Linus Torvalds to the Linux Kernel
-Mailing List points out:</para>
-
-<screen>I would suggest that people who compile new kernels should:
-
- - not have a single symbolic link in sight (except the one that the
- kernel build itself sets up, namely the "linux/include/asm" symlink
- that is only used for the internal kernel compile itself)
-
-And yes, this is what I do. My /usr/src/linux still has the old 2.2.13
-header files, even though I haven't run a 2.2.13 kernel in a _loong_
-time. But those headers were what glibc was compiled against, so those
-headers are what matches the library object files.
-
-And this is actually what has been the suggested environment for at
-least the last five years. I don't know why the symlink business keeps
-on living on, like a bad zombie. Pretty much every distribution still
-has that broken symlink, and people still remember that the linux
-sources should go into "/usr/src/linux" even though that hasn't been
-true in a _loong_ time.</screen>
-
-<para>The relevant part here is where he states that the headers should
-be the ones which <emphasis>glibc was compiled against</emphasis>. These are
-the headers which should remain accessible and so by copying them, we ensure
-that we follow these guidelines. Also note that as long as you don't have
-those symlinks, it is perfectly fine to have the kernel sources
-in <filename>/usr/src/linux</filename>.</para>
