-<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,tmp,usr/local,var,opt}
-for dirname in /usr /usr/local
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;do
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mkdir $dirname/{bin,etc,include,lib,sbin,share,src}
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ln -s share/{man,doc,info} $dirname
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mkdir $dirname/share/{dict,doc,info,locale,man}
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mkdir $dirname/share/{nls,misc,terminfo,zoneinfo}
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mkdir $dirname/share/man/man{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
-done
-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 "sticky bit" -- 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>
