+<para>Let's now create some structure in our LFS file system. Let's create
+a directory tree. Issuing the following commands will create a more or less
+standard tree:</para>
+ 
+<screen><userinput>mkdir -p /{bin,boot,dev/{pts,shm},etc/opt,home,lib,mnt,proc}
+mkdir -p /{root,sbin,srv,tmp,usr/local,var,opt}
+mkdir -p /media/{floppy,cdrom}
+mkdir /usr/{bin,include,lib,sbin,share,src}
+ln -s share/{man,doc,info} /usr
+mkdir /usr/share/{doc,info,locale,man}
+mkdir /usr/share/{misc,terminfo,zoneinfo}
+mkdir /usr/share/man/man{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
+mkdir /usr/local/{bin,etc,include,lib,sbin,share,src}
+ln -s share/{man,doc,info} /usr/local
+mkdir /usr/local/share/{doc,info,locale,man}
+mkdir /usr/local/share/{misc,terminfo,zoneinfo}
+mkdir /usr/local/share/man/man{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
+mkdir /var/{lock,log,mail,run,spool}
+mkdir -p /var/{tmp,opt,cache,lib/misc,local}
+mkdir /opt/{bin,doc,include,info}
+mkdir -p /opt/{lib,man/man{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}}</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Directories are, by default, created with permission mode 755, but this
+isn't desirable for all directories. We will make two changes: one to the home
+directory of <emphasis>root</emphasis>, and another to the directories for
+temporary files.</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>chmod 0750 /root
+chmod 1777 /tmp /var/tmp</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>The first mode change ensures that not just anybody can enter the
+<filename class="directory">/root</filename> directory -- the same
+as a normal user would do with his or her home directory.
+The second mode change makes sure that any user can write to the
+<filename class="directory">/tmp</filename> and
+<filename class="directory">/var/tmp</filename> directories, but
+cannot remove other users' files from them. The latter is prohibited
+by the so-called <quote>sticky bit</quote> -- the highest bit in the 1777 bit
+mask.</para>

+<title>FHS compliance note</title>
+
+<para>We have based our directory tree on the FHS standard (available at
+<ulink url="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/"/>). Besides the above created
+tree this standard stipulates the existence of
+<filename class="directory">/usr/local/games</filename> and
+<filename class="directory">/usr/share/games</filename>, but we don't
+much like these for a base system. However, feel free to make your system
+FHS-compliant. As to the structure of the
+<filename class="directory">/usr/local/share</filename> subdirectory, the FHS
+isn't precise, so we created here the directories that we think are needed.</para>
